This is a video explaining and demonstrating the construction of a homemade piezoelectric transducer. Using Barium Titanate as the piezoelectric substance, the material is sandwiched between two conductive plates and tested to measure the performance of the cell.

  • Just out of curiosity, how long does it take for the Barium Titanate to lose charge? if it does, that is.

  • @noobcannon1322 Do you mean permanently loose the charge, or how long does it take for the charge to dissipate after you have applied constant pressure to it?

  • truly interesting. can you please help me out with making a circuit using piezoelectric transducer to generate electricity of such magnitude that it can power a streetlight bulb

  • Very interesting!

  • Dude nice

  • @jrbpyro101 Both

  • you should try hooking it up to a sensitive preamp and test it as a microphone

  • Interesting video. I wish I knew more of the physics behind the piezoelectric effect. Coiuld there be a possible short between the copper plates? I really like your videos and its excellent news there are more to come. Keep up the good work! :)
