What is Sonphonon? Sound Dead Steel have branded their material as Sonphonon, SON is from SONic sonic - relating to sound or sound waves: relating to, using, or producing sound or sound waves audible to human ear: able to be heard by the human ear relating to speed of sound: relating to or travelling at the speed of sound in air, approximately 1,220 km per hour760 mi per hour at sea level. and PHONON (fonon) - quantum of vibrational energy. The atoms of any crystal are in a state of vibration, their average kinetic energy being measured by the absolute temperature of the crystal. In certain phenomena it becomes evident that this energy is divided into discrete bundles (see quantum theory ); the energy bundles behave like particles in some respects and are termed phonons. These effects are most apparent at low temperatures where only a few phonons are present. For example, interactions between phonons and electrons are thought to be responsible for such phenomena as superconductivity . Since Sound Dead Steel controls sonic and vibrational energy the name SONPHONON is perfect.
