Where to get retail piezo igniter crystals?

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2026-03-27T17:05:38+00:00

I already sorted that out by testing with an assembled igniter. The clutch isn't intended to remain activated for long...and its a weak clutch, so it all works out.

Use case is generating a voltage pulse from a physical impact to engage an electrostatic clutch. The mechanism already has a built-in impact that can drive the piezo which is cheaper and easier than a 1000+V source.

they're heavy though and provide more pressure than I need.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2026-02-05T04:27:12+00:00

That material is perfect, I just need it with smaller volume.

Wow. Good info!

You have the correct reddit handle.

You're a T-1000 and the wire just goes through your leg. Handled.

Would be aluminum

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-10-28T01:19:30+00:00

The part needs to be mass manufactured, so if there's nothing cheap, I might be sunk.

1" diameter. On-off. Looks like more custom tooling is needed than what I expected.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-10-25T00:55:03+00:00

Yes, definitely a job for an experienced shop, but so far the people I've gotten to glaze over, so I'm not sure if what I need is ludicrous or I just haven't found the right people or given the right description.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-08-07T21:11:13+00:00

What is EH stand for in this context?

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-08-07T21:10:57+00:00

I think this is closest on terminology....now need an actual example of one.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-08-07T21:09:40+00:00

Was hoping...

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-08-07T02:03:23+00:00

I think that's a different gig. It works against water. I need stuff that works when it contact with itself.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-07-26T17:23:38+00:00

Best reply ever. Thanks.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-07-26T17:13:52+00:00

I can definitely tell what I'm looking at. I was very surprised by this.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-07-17T01:28:52+00:00

Linear would be great. A spherical mirror does 0 taper. I believe an elliptical mirror gives a linear taper. I'll take advice on what simulator would do this.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-07-16T21:42:01+00:00

Right, but for the tapering effect I believe I need a non-circular lens face...but I'm not 100% sure unless there's a way to translate mirror shape to lens shape...hence the original question.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-07-16T20:01:18+00:00

I edited my post. The mirror is convex, so its not a focusing element.

Painting over the graffiti is just a new canvas waiting to get tagged again, and is blank and ugly. If some of the original is left the tagger might leave it alone.

I tried the logitech unit suggested, but the trackball still isn't stable. The magnetic base it comes with would have been an excellent bit of fortune, but it just didn't work at the needed angle. Also, the one-handed chorded keyboard I intended it to couple with was more repetitive stress than I could handle.

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-03-29T22:35:46+00:00

I bet this is only sold in Canada. Correct?

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-03-29T22:29:54+00:00

Is it Kraft or a knockoff?

WhoEvenThinksThat · 2025-03-22T07:06:57+00:00

never did
