Reactive silent speaker device for simulating harmonic nonlinearities of a loudspeaker

An apparatus comprising:

• a resistive element comprising:
• a tubular core with a hollow central cavity;
• a first wire that is wound around the hollow core in a first direction;
• a first terminal at a first end of the first wire;
• a second terminal at an opposite second end of the second wire;
• and
• an inductive element inserted within the tubular core of the resistive element, the inductive element comprising:
• a metal-based core;
• a second wire that is wound around the metal-based core in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction;
• a first terminal at a first end of the second wire;
• a second terminal at an opposite second end of the second wire;
• and
• wherein the second terminal of the inductive element is connected in series to the first terminal of the resistive element,
• wherein the resistive element and the inductive element generate electromagnetic distortion in response to a signal received on the second terminal or the first terminal of the resistive element, and
• wherein the electromagnetic distortion alters the signal to include harmonic nonlinearities.

A method comprising:

• disposing a wire-wound inductor inside a hollow central cavity of a tubular core wire-wound resistor with wiring of the wire-wound inductor being in an opposite direction to wiring of the tubular core wire-wound resistor;
• connecting a first terminal of the wire-wound inductor in series to a terminal of the tubular core wire-wound resistor;
• providing a signal to a second input terminal of the wire-wound inductor;
• generating electromagnetic distortion from a fluctuating magnetic field, that is created as a result of the signal passing through the wire-wound inductor, penetrating the tubular core wire-wound resistor;
• introducing harmonic nonlinearities into the signal based on the electromagnetic distortion;
• and
• outputting the signal with the harmonic nonlinearities.
