Req: options for cheap ultrasonic transducers?

Feb 01, 2006 7 Replies

Just for playing around, I'd like to buy a few (preferably varied frequency) Ultrasound transducers. I checked radioshack, and they don't have anything listed. Anyone know of somewhere I could get a few cheap surplus parts to play with?



Thanks for any info, Keith

Buy an electronic ignition sigaret lighter. Contains a very cheap transducer. If you need a heavier one buy a kitchen gas lighter.

What is its response at ultrasonic frequencies?

Try it, and see. Its cheap enough.

Bzzzt! Wrong. It was your suggestion, so you need to back it up with some real information, or you are just talking a load of crap.

Check out Electronic Goldmine. They have ultrasonic transducers.
