I am trying to come up with a variable frequency whistle (pneumatic), part of a liquid atomizing test device. Does anyone know a starting point for such old technology? Probably dealing with non-fundamental tones, but rather first harmonic or ?

Hey jkftl,

What do you need a whistle for when atomizing? Perhaps what you really are looking for is a way to atomize a liquid using ultrasonics? If so, there are ways to make this happen using an ultrasonic transducer. Check out or I have several other applicable links listed on my website,

The whistle works and it is simple. The fundamental IS the
first harmonic, the second is 2X fr.

Check old patents. <nbucska@pcperipherals.com>
 
Another name for an ultrasonic whistle is a Galton Whistle. Try doing a web or patent search using this term.
