Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Question transducteurs magnétostrictifs, les ingénieurs nourrissent deux ambitions. Primo, réduire la fréquence d'émission pour augmenter par ricochet la portée du sonar, puisque les ondes sonores de plus basse fréquence s'atténuent moins vite dans l'eau de mer. Secundo, augmenter la puissance émise pour renforcer encore davantage la portée du sonar - tout comme sur une voiture, des phares plus puissants éclairent plus loin. [...] Le Tripode, qui a dépassé dès les premiers essais la puissance acoustique du Quadripode, a déjà gagné un facteur cinq par rapport à un transducteur piézoélectrique. 1, record 1, French, - Tripode
