Subject: [alt-beam] Feelers or Sensors


Hi All,

I have nade several feelers using everything from springs
to bronze and copper wire, also used nickel wire.

I was about to try some stainless wire when it occured to
me that it may be possible to do away with the spring and
connect the feeler to a pezio.

when the feeler touches something it would send a vibration
down to shaft to the pezio, this would in turn produce a small
current that could be used to trigger the bicore.

I may be wrong but is a pezio not basicly a capacitor?, if so
would it not be possible to use in the RC arangement in the
bicore circut?.

Regards
Andrew
