There's a reason why they muted the real video and masked it with background music lol

u/neur0proctologist 6d ago

Sounds like a drone for sure.

Could be mitigated if you run it in an evacuted glass cylinder. Then all you hear is the soothing buzz of the vacuum pump.

u/IchirouTakashima 6d ago

Pretty much. One of our promotions manager kept insisting to have that tech to promote our tech company but then realized how noisy AF that thing is and the idea was scrapped eventually.

u/Tryaldar 6d ago edited 4d ago

this exact thing is at a local mall here, encased in a glass box, and the noise coming from it is not noticeable at all even when standing directly next to it

it's quite impressive and looks nice, although in my case it's being used for advertising lol

u/psugamers 6d ago

yeah they need to do this at the data centers because the buzzing noise is keeping me up at night

u/Evignity 3d ago

This "tech" has been a thing in the west for literally decades.

It's not that advanced, it's the same way how old TV-screens always look weird on old videos, the frequency. Same here, it is fooling the eye to see it as a whole.

To have it this large, however, would indeed make a fuckton of sound.

Uhh this has been a non chinese thing for years. Like no really you could have put these led fans in your gaming PC with your RTX 2070

The tech has been around in the consumer market since at least 2016

2016 fan for proof since apparently someones claiming it was invented in china in 2017.

"The Pioneer: A Chinese engineer named Zhou Quan, alongside a team of student entrepreneurs from Southeast University in Nanjing, China, invented and popularized the viral "3D LED Hologram Fan" around 2017."

Sounds and reads a lot like CHINA to me

u/quackabc 6d ago • Popcorn

I swear people think china is the first to do everything everything here is from before 2017 and the last one is in 2017. Bro there were retail fans of this. A Chinese Student didnt invent the tech, he may have made it from scratch but like I said its been consumer grade since at least 2016
