	I wonder if this can be scaled up...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hE6KjLUkiw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Some say it was scaled up already and used for the pyramids. Maybe Copperfield knows. Check this. Something might be to it. Or here. __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	I think your thinking of lots of slaves motivated by large whips. Its amazing what humans can accomplish with a loooong deadline and no HR and health and safety departments. __________________ jack of all trades

	Making lots of sounds with whips might have done the trick. Haha! __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	Maybe, but it rather seems to look at the research being done in this area if you mean the u-tube video. The other link has a reply in it the says that sledges have been used. What do you say about the Florida guy with his Coral castle? Anything on him? __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	No sonic? Not even for cutting the stone? Nice story the whole thing. __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	Here is an idea that seems more likely than that the stones of the pyramids were cut and carried into place. (And much more likely than they were levitated by sound!) They were cast like concrete. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/world/africa/23iht-pyramid.1.12259608.html?_r=0

	Can it be scaled up? I'm thinking no. I believe the forces would scale as the surface area of the object being levitated whereas the weight would scale as the volume. It's the old square versus cube problem.

	If they scale it up, I'm not volunteering to do the cabling. __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	How do you find out particle size distribution in a powder - be it cement or pharmaceutical tablet. The powder is sprinkled on a table and the powder particles are levitated ultrasonically. Depending on weight / gravitational force and ultrasonic levitation force- you can determine particle distribution. I have seen this kind of an equipment.
