Sure!
E-mail me at oilyfool@yahoo.com. And just fer grins, send one to The Phrygian Kid, too;I'll pay for it, and postage.
Basically as it's on a spring plate
The spring plate attaches to the body of a guitar
The coil is gently moving with vibration.
The magnet is stuck to the spring plate.
Works like a piezo would.
Hold down the spring and output stops.
However as this also does inductance too
You can get both sounds in one!
So it's a double pickup!
Yes faradays law
But just wait till I fit a reverb spring !
Inductance and reverb piezo in one!
All for 50pence plus a magnet.
And a stackable design for 1-6 strings
Nice!!!
Would you like one as a winning prize?
Shall I send you one to play with ?
What'd I win? >:-E
Dat sounds great. King Farraday.
Just a copper coil and a magnet!
Think again, this principle was invented 1830's
There is only one tiny difference to this pickup to a standard pup.
Why does it work?
Be..... might tell us the answer at the end of the day!?
Told ya the aluminum was unnecessary (well OK, I actually told The Kid, but hey...)! That's kewl, Bug!
String vibrations cause the piezo crystals to slide past one another, generating a current, giving you the "piezo pickup" half; the same vibrations also cause the coil inside the buzzer to move through the Ni magnet's field, generating a current, giving you the "mag pickup" half. As opposed to the way a normal mag pup works, where a steel (ferrous material, thus can perturb a magnetic field) guitar string vibrates through the magnetic field of a stationary coil and stationary magnetic pole piece, pertuirbing the magnetic field, generating a current. Faraday's law. Inductance.
Is what I'm thinking (and basically what I said on the first thread) , without having one in front of me to take it apart. Yep, simple. So what am I missing?
I've NO idea??!!
