Where Can I Find Affordable Equipment for My Piezoelectric Experiment?

AI Thread Summary
Affordable equipment for a piezoelectric experiment can be sourced from various suppliers. The experimenter needs a force measurement device and a sensitive oscilloscope under $100 to measure the piezo crystal output. Suggestions include exploring resources from Omega, which may offer useful tools or ideas. The urgency of completing the experiment in 22 days adds to the need for quick and cost-effective solutions. Assistance in finding these specific items is highly sought after.

I am currently planning a Piezoelectric "experiment" and need to finish it in 22 days. I have no problem obtaining a clamp and synthesising rochelle salt. However, I need two things. One is something which I could use to measure the force applied to the crystal when tapped and two a cheap oscilloscope for under 100 USD that is sensitive enough to measure the piezo crystal output. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't know if there's anything that http://www.omega.com/ has that will help you, but they may give some ideas.

e.g. this from their http://www.omega.com/literature/transactions/volume3/force.html tutorial.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
