SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of producing ultrasonic waves using the magnetostriction method by winding a single rod around a nickel rod and connecting it to a battery. The user, Bobby, questions the necessity of feedback in this method and proposes a simplified approach to generate ultrasonic waves through magnetic field-induced vibrations. Resources were shared, including a link to a website detailing ultrasonic wave production via magnetostriction. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the underlying principles of magnetostriction for effective ultrasonic wave generation.

I don't really understand what is the need of giving feedback in the magnetostriction method to produce ultrasonic waves.

I am thinking of just winding a single rod over a nickel rod and then connecting then connecting the 2 ends to a battery. When the current is passed,magnetic field develops and the rod vibrates and produces ultrasonic waves. Is this possible?

I added the words "then connecting" twice. That's why this question appears lame.
