How to Generate Electricity from Piezo
Generating electricity from piezo could be as easy as making a flick with your finger….. curious to know how? I have explained more about this amazing device called piezo, which can be used for generating music as well as electricity. How Piezo Responds to Force and Electricity Piezo material is a crystalline substance which has […]
Understanding and Using a Piezo Transducer
In this post we try to investigate what transducers are and how they need to be configured in circuits while using them in a given application Understanding Piezo Transducers A piezo transducer is a device primarily used for converting an applied frequency to audible sound. It may be compared to a loud speaker, the only […]
Make this Simple Buzzer Circuit with Transistor and Piezo
In this article I have explained how to make a very simple circuit for buzzer using piezo electric transducer, two resistors, a small coil and a BC547 transistor. A buzzer is a high frequency oscillator circuit used for generating a buzzing sound through a transducer or speaker output. Simple Buzzer using a Single Transistor Just […]
Simplest Piezo Driver Circuit Explained
In the previous post I explained a piezo transducer element and learned how to use it with electronic circuits. In this article we will see how a piezo tranducer can be driven or operated using a simple circuit. As discussed earlier a piezo transducer basically requires a frequency to vibrate and reproduce the required sound. […]
Single IC Piezo Driver Circuit – LED Warning Indicator
The single IC piezo driver with LED explained here can be used as a warning indicator device in conjunction with some sensor for generating an audible as well as a visual indication. How the Circuit Functions The circuit of this piezo cum LED driver, warning indicator circuit utilizes just a single chip RE46C101 from microchip, […]
