    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    Did not realize about dot matrix heads. Will look those up. I am also looking up on 3d printing inductors. I am not sure how multi layering and insulating turns of copper will work. Thanks

    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    Hi Is it possible to use SMD inductors to cause actuation? I mean if I stack two inductors one on top of other and supply current in opposite directions will they repel each other? Thanks

    Power supply suggestions

    Of course. Doh! That is so obvious now that you mentioned it .. Thanks

    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    No, I haven't heard of peizo fans before but I guess they are a type of amplified actuators. I am looking at these now. Also, what do you consider to be a good workable material to make piezoelectric blocks out of - I am thinking of PVDF - I can form it and then use the triad of heat/stretch and...

    Power supply suggestions

    Hi I am trying to find a high voltage DC power supply. What I am trying to do is to pole some PVDF - first form it in the shape of a rod, then heat to 100c+stretch+apply DC bias across it so that it shifts to beta form for the piezoelectric effect. I have been trying to find sources of high...

    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    Hi there I was thinking of that as well. However my application is to create a grid of several of these as a small panel - likely to be upwards of several hundreds. I am also hoping to be able to integrate the making of this once the prototypes are done. That is why I was looking more for...

    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    No takers? I have been reading more and came across electrostatic devices. However these seem to be in the micrometer range than what I am looking for. Any ideas? Thanks

    looking for suggestions on actuator grid

    Hi folks I have a small question. I am trying to design an actuator grid. It needs to be around 2x3in. I want to put around 50x40 = 2000 tiny actuators on it. These will be handled by a pi or an arduino possibly using a few shift registers. I have been looking at options including piezo...
