Clay Art for a Speaker Clay Art for a Speaker That Are Easy
To consummate a school project, a freshman in telecommunications and electronics engineering, Dam Soksreyneang, xviii, came up with the innovative concept of combining Kampong Chhnang province'due south ancestral tradition of making pottery with sound technology.
Born in the central province of Kampong Chhnang, Soksreyneang is the youngest in her family. Her mother makes cookies and sells local fried snacks to support her and her blood brother'due south education.
After passing the national high schoolhouse examination last yr, Soksreyneang enrolled every bit a scholarship educatee in the newly established Kinesthesia of Engineering of the Purple Academy of Phnom Penh.
She is one of the few girls studying telecommunication and electronics engineering, a field the Kingdom has been trying to promote and build upwards.
In her second semester, Soksreyneang conceived the idea to combine entertainment technology with her cultural roots.
"I came up with the idea to integrate the trendy speaker gadget with the ancient fine art of clay pottery, which is a trade in my hometown. I decided to choose the dirt pot which is the symbol of Kampong Chhnang province where I am from," says Soksreyneang.
Meaning "pottery village" in Khmer, Kampong Chhnang's identity is embedded in the tradition of making clay pottery.
Aiming to promote cultural identity and eco-friendly applied science, her idea of using traditional handmade clay pots to build a speaker earned mixed reviews from spectators, with some criticising "the ridiculousness of the idea".
However, Soksreyneang took the negative comments in her stride and vowed to continue developing the quality of her dirt pot speaker.

Due to express funds and research, Soksreyneang decided to start minor by maintaining the original shape of the dirt pot while utilising affordable parts to build the sound system inside of it.
"I advisedly made holes and installed two pocket-sized speakers in the clay pot. Honestly, they're very cheap ones with a pair costing just xx,000 riels ($five). They are what I can beget.
"I accept to admit the quality of the audio was not very expert [equally] the quality as well depends on how much you spend on parts," she says.
Despite doing slight modifications to the clay pot, Soksreyneang was able to present her clay pot speaker in October without a break or crack in sight.
"I knew clay pots are easily breakable and cannot withstand sound vibration, but I fixed the flaw and improved the components.
"As a result, I was able to submit this unique speaker to the STEM campsite and [participate in the] school final projection exhibition [where I was] joined past some engineering science professors from Korea," she says proudly.
Even though the outcome of her efforts is commendable, the clay pot speaker is not without flaws. For case, the pot could interruption if the sound vibrations get besides strong.
The idea of combining the art of pottery with a audio organisation is neither new nor impossible. In collaboration with London-based visitor Keechdesign, Japan'south Yamaha Blueprint Lab recently released a speaker blueprint which combined pottery and sound technology.

Noting that ceramics is an first-class material that tin can provide rigidity and the ability to produce organic forms well-suited to high-quality audio, the Yamaha ceramic speakers was the result of the combined efforts of Japan'south tech expertise and the UK'south manufacturing knowledge.
Several prototypes of Yamaha'southward ceramic speakers are now being tested for immovability and sound quality.
Similarly, Soksreyneang says the fulfilment of the school requirement does not put an end to the project. She plans on improving her pattern. From sketching the shape and form of the pot to studying audio technology, she aims to develop a more functional dirt pot speaker.
"Afterward receiving positive and negative comments from friends and teachers, I am more motivated to make this my life'southward project.
"My teacher who is an practiced pharmacist advised me to practise more research near clay and porcelain techniques. If I change some components, I can make the speaker durable and unbreakable even with the organisation book turned at its maximum.
"I'm working on making a dirt pot speaker that is both beautiful and can generate rich sounds and beats in the near future," she says.
