85k RPM Stryker CORE Impaction Drill

DESIGN ALTERNATIVES: EXTERNAL CASINGS

Vacuum Absorbing/Damping Material

Add second, self-contained metal Add material sheath outside of the

casing and create a vacuum existing handpiece
between the layers
DESIGN ALTERNATIVES: INTERNAL WALL CASINGS

Protrusions Absorbing/Damping Material

Design angular protrusions to reflect Add material to the inner wall of the
and cancel sound waves similar to an handpiece
automotive muffler
DESIGN ALTERNATIVES: COMPONENT CASINGS

Fluid Absorbing/Damping Material

Fill handpiece with a low viscosity, Similar to absorbing/damping

high density fluid material internal wall casing

Density of the medium is inversely Add material only around internal

related to the speed of sound components that produce the most
propagation through the material noise

DESIGN ALTERNATIVES: ROOM-SCALE SOLUTION

Room-Scale Noise Cancelling

Generate 3D digital mapping of the

room

Determine locations at which sound

must be minimized

Determine the primary sources of

noise

Produce sound waves which would

superpose destructively at the
locations where noise must be
minimized
