Are these the cheap transducers that would work for this project?

For shapes what comes to mind is a tube or a cone for the atomizing chamber as it seems everything in electronics is circular or tube shaped.

Thanks for your input!

Ultimately it is the choice of the experimenter what they do, but I do want Power To Be to share as much as he will concerning the optimum design of his device.  I want to achieve the optimum results with my machine.  I think the hints he gave us yesterday with the questions directed to me. Slovenia, were significant. 

Maybe we can bypass the need for a specific geometry by just maximizing surface area that the waves will contact. Just my thinking...

Power To Be Questions from yesterday (Posed March 18, 2011)

Well folks,

Yesterday Power To Be posed, I think, some very significant questions to me with regard to his water injection device. I feel we need to pool our resources and answer these questions as a group so that he will continue to give us hints like this about how an optimum system should be designed. Anyway, here are the questions he asked again and his support information.

Power1 Questions:

Slovenia,
Crystal oscillator circuits are old and easy to build.

You are working with ultrasonic waves here. Musical instruments will give fine examples.

1.) What material and geometry exhibits excellent acoustic harmonic qualities?

Use that for your atomizing chamber.

2.) How do you adhere crystals to other surfaces?

There are many different ways. Choose what is best for you. Other researchers used flexible materials but I use solid. It doesn't matter, what ever way that is practical for you.

3.) How do you harvest ultrasonic waves, what shape or geometry should you make the collector?

Your answer is widely available. Forget wikipedia and these forums, look elsewhere. What did the other inventors use? Check out patents, old books, etc.

Please refer to my later posts!!  I answered all of Power To Be's questions.

I still haven't determined what crystal oscillator to use yet, but we're starting to click real well now.

Happy sailing!!

What Did We Learn From Power To Be's Question of March 18?

#1)  We probably need to use a crystal oscillator.

#2)  It would be advisable to use an acoustical horn in conjunction with the transducers with the transducer in the chamber of the horn.

#3)  The acoustical horn should be made of brass.

#4)  We need to adhere the zinc crystals to some sort of structure within the cell.  Flexible or rigid makes no difference.

#5)  We need a collector to harvest our ultrasonic waves and it needs to be a certain configuration.  There's a special geometry required for optimally harvesting ultrasonic waves.  So, we need to utilize that optimum shape, geometry, for harvesting our ultrasonic waves if we are going for optimum results.
