Gastrophonic

 Chest Cavity Sub (some surgery neccessary)

This is an invention for walkman listeners, to get the effect of listening to pounding base with tiny speakers. The speakers will be in a hygenic pod and will be welded to the inside of the sternum, the tiny pulses will cause a vibration that causes your whole rib-cage to pound. Although it won't actually be loud, it will feel loud and won't disturb fellow commuters.

Also this will enable deaf people to listen to dance music on a walkman.p

       Will it be felt, as in the case of rolling-boom-boxes, by neighbo(u)ring commuters and the like?

       I'd have named the idea "Sternaphonic" ("sterna" is a plural of "sternum"), and let people wonder if I was punning "Stereophonic".

       Came back after I realized the possibilities if it was a gastronomic amplifier...

       //will be welded to the inside of the sternum// does this mean I can get one fitted at my local garage?
I only wish I had more than one croissant!

       "won't disturb fellow commuters...Also this will enable deaf people to listen to dance music on a walkman."   

       Um, why? If you're on a train, you've got some pretty good bass rumbles going already, without any need for portable gimmicks.

       When you go for your annual exam, put a tape/disc in your walkman that plays stethoscope recordings of very obscure maladies to give your physician a cheap thrill.

       "pounding base"   

       Thought this was some kind of drugs reference.

       Regarding the name, it's close enough and I liked the ring of gastrophonic, it rolls out nicely.   

       This device will quite possibly lead to digestive problems through increased peristalsis ie: insufficient time for the stomach to absorb the nutrients, could be used as a form of weight loss. Additionally it may be marketed as an ab-erciser when played at Max Volume.
