 Res·o·na·tor n.
 1. Acoustics Anything which resounds; specifically, a vessel in the form of a cylinder open at one end, or a hollow ball of brass with two apertures, so contrived as to greatly intensify a musical tone by its resonance. It is used for the study and analysis of complex sounds.
 2. Anything that resounds or resonates; specif.: (a) Teleg. An open box for containing a sounder and designed to concentrate and amplify the sound. (b) Elec. Any of various apparatus for exhibiting or utilizing the effects of resonance in connection with open circuits, as a device having an oscillating circuit which includes a helix of bare copper wire, a variable number of coils of which can be connected in circuit with a condenser and spark gap excited with an induction coil.
