Potential Heat From Noises Could Drive Engines
Dr. Arthur R. Kantrowitz told the American Physical Society at the University of Virginia that noises about the loudness of a paper bag can generate shock waves. These waves tend to converge at a point, creating enormous pressures and temperatures that might someday power engines or trigger explosions.

Shock Waves Show Surprising Power In Tests At Cornell
Kantrowitz and W Perry of Cornell, with support from the Office of Naval Research, report shock waves show a split second potency with possible military use. In a lab test they created doughnut shaped shock fields in a 3 inch tubing, yielding center pressures and extreme brief temperatures. They suggest a self perpetuating ignition possibility, but favor spark plugs for car ignition. detonator potential exists for explosions outside engines.
