RE: stupid electronics tricks

2000-12-28 by Celeste H

I was thinking that the signal going down the wire would generate an
electric field around the string and that would make the pickups go, just
like the vibrator trick somebody mentioned.  There  it's not the
motor rattling the string that makes sounds, but the electromagnetic
field.  If that's not the case, i could just hook the output to a piezo
speaker or something, and solder that to a string to get mechanical
motion.  I guess running an AC poer line over pickups doesn't do anything,
so electric signals in a string wouldn't either....unless you used them to
power a vibrator motor or something... ;)

I just got _Music on a Long Thin Wire_ for xmas, so it ought to
beavailable someplace.  I think it's out with Lovely Music.
