Electricity arrives
Tiny electricity flows into a coil of wire inside BoomBrix. The electricity keeps changing, and the pattern of changes is a copy of the song.
Lesson 02
A speaker makes the air wiggle
A BoomBrix speaker cannot sing. All it does is wiggle — thousands of times every second — in exactly the pattern the music tells it to.

Speaker Cone Lab
When we switch from 60 Hz to 2,000 Hz, what will the cone do — move further, or move faster?
A magnet pushes and pulls
Electricity in a coil turns the coil into a magnet you can switch on and off. It pushes and pulls against a real magnet. So the coil jumps back and forth.
The cone shoves the air
The coil is glued to a stiff paper cone. The cone wiggles. The air wiggles. Your ears catch it, and you hear the song.
Hear it for yourself.
Everything you just learned happens inside BoomBrix, the speaker that snaps onto your builds.
