Playing the drums requires a lot of practice, but that practice can be incredibly loud. A nice workaround is presented by [PocketBoy], in converting an acoustic kit ...

Structures are used for piezoelectric energy harvesters as a way of redirecting the path of an inputted force so that the piezoelectric element can better convert the mechanical energy to electrical ...

Drums! You hit them, and they vibrate. It’s kind of fun. Piezoelectric elements can create electric current when they vibrate. [Will Dana] put two and two together to try and charge his phone on his ...

The design, which excludes rolling elements, eliminates bearing rumble, thus ensuring the uniformity and straightness/flatness of movement. PIHera precision closed-loop XY stages incorporate ...

The CEB and CPT piezo element models feature extremely low profiles down to 0.12mm and come with or without wire leads for simple and reliable design implementation in vibration detection or touch ...

Same Sky’s Audio Group today announced the continued expansion of its piezoelectric elements product line. The CEB and CPT piezo element models feature extremely low profiles down to 0.12 mm and come ...

If you are going to build a foam dart range, at some point you want to add a sensor to register the hits at the target. Here is a simple idea for designing and building a standalone reactive target.

Abstract: To hold promise for the high-power demands of wireless sensor networks nodes, energy harvesting from discrete multiple piezoelectric elements (multi-PEs) has started to be of research ...

Physik Instrumente’s S-335 two-axis fast steering mirrors with PICMA piezo actuators aim to be the benchmark for laser beam steering in high-speed applications. Ceramic encapsulated PICMA piezo ...
