The 500 W subwoofer doesn’t sound that satisfying anymore and you got big plans for your neighbors. Then the TRW-17 rotary subwoofer is the thing for you.

TRW-17 is nothing like any subwoofer you’ve seen. It’s more of a fan-like device: check out those cool rotating fins! Inventor Bruce Thigpen from Eminent Technology says this is considered to be the world’s first true infrasonic home theater woofer. As you might know, conventional subwoofers roll off rapidly below 20Hz and the human ear can’t really pick up those frequencies either. But the human body can feel the vibrations. The rotary woofer has enough acoustic output to move an open door back and forth and it can even find resonance frequencies of walls and ceilings in a room. If you want to hear and feel the 4-5 hertz fundamental frequency from a helicopter rotor, the low frequency rumble of wind, the space of a concert hall or infrasonic information contained in an explosion or in the sound of an earthquake, this is the only woofer technology that can provide total immersion.

Here are some technical specs:

- Amplifier Requirement: 200 watts @ 8 ohms Impedance: 8 ohms
- 0Hz - 40Hz Frequency Response - 1Hz – 30Hz +/- 4dB
- Suggested Crossover: 20Hz @ 18dB/octave
- Sensitivity 94dB 1 watt 1 meter @10Hz
- Maximum Acoustic Output: >115dB between 1 and 20Hz.
- Distortion: Typically 3% or less between 1 and 30Hz @90dB

But be warned! The rotary subwoofer may also find resonating frequencies of you internal organs if you get too close to it. Anyhow, the device is still in the prototype phase and needs a little more adjusting. We might actually get one of these in the next couple of years.
