No, Tom, I had not see anyone use the disc configurations that I used which were "designed" to appear solid (more or less) to the sonic wave but permit gas flow through them.  I have seen discs with holes used  but they permit the sonic FAW wave through as well as the gas.  At least that is my assumption.  If you recall the discs looked like paddle wheels with the blades bent less than 45 deg.  The idea was that it would still look pretty solid to a sound wave but the gas molecules could find plenty of room to go around the face of the blades and continue the flow.
 
I think the idea has sufficient merit to try it one more time without spinning discs to see what the results would be.  Ok, I've shown you mine now its your turn to show me yours {:>)

Hi Ed,
 
Yes, I remember your muffler experiment.   Let me ask you, is that something you had seen before?     Issues with my concept was weight, manufacturability, and it being a heat sink.   But in the last few minutes I did what I often do.  I came up with another iteration which deals nicely with those and is so simple that anybody with welding gear could make one in their shop.   It just looks a little funny.
