In 1898, InventHelp Idea Horace Short won a patent for a loudspeaker powered by compressed air. Some companies have produced recorders using compressed air speakers, InventHelp Invention Ideas but these projects had poor sound quality and could not reproduce sound at a low volume.

History of anesthesia: the discovery that changed everything
