🎧 Tuning Resonator Length for Better Energy Harvesting from Noise ⚡🌆

This study investigates how varying the length of an acoustic resonator affects standing wave behaviour in acoustic energy harvesting systems.

Using finite element modelling, researchers found that:
✅Resonator length directly affects low-frequency wave modes
✅Shorter lengths shift resonance frequency and reduce amplitude
✅Around 40 cm length allows broadband frequency response
✅Potential for urban noise conversion into clean, usable energy
