The humble piezo element is often used as little more than a buzzer in many projects. However, you can do more with them, as [Something Physical] demonstrates with their nifty piezo noise box. Check ...

Cheap piezo buzzers are everywhere. They’re so cheap that they can be used in novelty birthday cards. Applying an alternating voltage across a piezo crystal makes it expand and contract, and fixing ...

Murphy’s Law predicts that it takes the first 99% of your time budget to finish the first 99% of a job and the second 99% to get it completed. The history of piezoelectric motors can serve as a good ...

A BRIEF outline of the history of the crystal filter has been publishad by J. E. Bsnson (A.W.A. Tech, Rev., 5, 191; 1941). The earliest application of piezo-electric crystals to frequency - selective ...

Inside each tile are the piezoelectric elements—thin discs of lead zirconate titanate—along with several solar cells and a lithium battery for storing power generated during the day. Researchers at ...
