Super cool to see someone trying to commercialize this technology. Fun fact is that the JWST cryocooler operates on a similar principle (although the implementation is quite different). Relatedly, I found this fantastic video on to how to use the thermoacoustic effect for heating and cooling a few months back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkBBkQ8jFRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkBBkQ8jFRY

Hyperspace Pirate on YouTube is working a DIY Pulse Tube Cooler that also uses thermoacoustic principals. His videos go into quite a lot of detail about the various parts and how they need tuning for everything to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOmjJFk8rl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOmjJFk8rl0
