Plasma-Based Sound Absorption
Acoustically treating a room normally involves bulky panels and other passive materials that must be very large and thick to affect low frequencies. But a new technology could do away with all that, replacing it with super-thin panels that use ionized air to perfectly tame the acoustics of any room.

Customer Reviews
Miss this show!
Wish I could find a replacement.
Monetizing Too Hard
There are better ways to monetize. Too many episodes are subscriber only. It’s like a forced Patreon. Also, many episodes are extremely short that could be combined.
Best TWIT Show but No More
Recently cancelled due to "comercial considerations"...not enough add revenue. What a bunch of DA's You should be able to support a commercial loser of this quality (the best). TWIT is becoming less relevent every day and they richly deserve what they are going to get.
