Prototype 03
From the previous experiment we realized that the piezo sensors weren't as sensitive as we expected, therefore we decided to break open the sensor covers. We also learned that the piezo sensors are triggered when there is a slight vibration or when the thin strip is bent.
In Prototype 03 we attached the sensor strips to wire legs hoping that with enough vibration it can trigger the piezo strips.
With the our understanding of how sound produces vibrations in the air, we decided to place one of the wire legs onto speakers and by playing a sound, the vibrations would trigger the piezo sensors.
Prototype 03 : Wire legs transmitting vibrations to the piezo sensors with bjork screaming on the speakers. The Output is a very faint sound produced by another piezo sensor.
