Even more so diagonally since the sources are placed in a rectangular grid and the diagonal spacing is 14.14 mm. Placing the sources in a hexagonal grid solves big diagonal spacing but this makes the design of the PCB more challanging. For this reason i opted to design a rectangular grid of sources anyway. -The waves exiting the transducers will look something like this. - -[]() - -The red dots at the bottom are sources emitting pure sinusodial signals with an adjusted phase delay so all the waves are in phase at the red dot around the middle. - -There is also an included python script called 'wave_equation.py' that focuses the waves to your mouse location by manipulating the phases of the emitters.

One is facing upwards and the other is facing downwards. They are facing eachother with a distance of 70mm. This distance is arbitrarily chosen based on the needed volume for levitation.
