Title: supplier for ultrasonic transducers
Post by: Hydro-Cell on December 11, 2008, 02:45:03 PM
looking for a supplier/manufacturer for piezo transducers. the transducers must be powerful not the little ones for robotics etc.

if you mean by open source i will be telling everyone what i will be doing and how to do it. it can be sorted if it works. the idea is to find a supplier so i can build/manufacture near ou heaters. the one i have for trsting is not ou but very close, however more ultrasonic power may make it ou, i currently have my heater running at about 10p per hour, and its able to warm a room

My son inlaw is currently talking to his suppliers about just that [piezo transducers]
I will share whatever he comes up with[They do underwater surveying to bed rock and beyond ]

Hello hydro_cell,

is your idea to cause friction-heat by supersonic waves ?
I think the type of transducer you are looking for will depend on what kind of material you will have the transducer act  on. If it is solid matter a ceramic disc will not work.
If you want it to be very powerful I would look for magneto-striction-based transducers. They are robust and last longer.
But actually I have no idea where to get one.
Ceramic discs need cooling and are mainly used for mixing liquids and cleaning with water.

the plan is to use them for hho production and cavitation
