[Vwdiesel] "Diesel Powered Speaker"

I'm watching Mythbusters (a rerun of the new episode
tonight), and they are testing the theory that it is
possible to build a sound system so loud and strong
that it could destroy a car.

The test car this time is an old Mercedes Diesel.  For
this experiment, they put a four foot speaker in the
passenger compartment (seats, etc removed).  Instead
of using electro magnets to move the cone (like a
normal speaker) they hooked the cone up to a
crankshaft that is attached to the drive shaft of the
car, so the turning engine will power the speaker.  

They said it was probably the first "diesel powered
speaker"!

I love Mythbusters.
