Definition von piezo im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
- A shortened term for Piezoelectric Ceramic Crystal This material has the ability to expand and contract with the application of electric current This ability allows a piezo to be the engine in a very small pump Since it has no moving parts, the durability of the material is extremely good Found in Epson printers with 90% of the piezo market
- The name usually given to piezo electric drivers This type of driver has no voice coil or magnetic assembly Instead, piezo electric material expands and contracts when voltage is applied The material vibrates and either radiates sound directly, or drives a diaphragm They can only be used effectively on high frequencies 2
- A piezo is a crystal that produces a voltage when it gets compressed Some bright spark noticed that this property could be used to produce pickups which are used within the actual construction of a guitar Some electro-acoustic guitars have piezo-pickups under the bridge When played the sound waves produced exert pressure on the crystal (via vibrations set up in the wood of the guitar) hence producing the sound of what is being played
