  • Vibration energy projection devices and systems
    Patent number: 12302062
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an energy transduction device or apparatus. An example device or apparatus includes: a piezoelectric transducer; electrical conductors electrically coupled to the piezoelectric transducer; and an axially aligned magnet assembly arranged to apply static compressive force to the piezoelectric transducer, the magnet assembly being coupled to a base at one end and having a free opposite end. The magnet assembly is coaxial with the piezoelectric transducer and at least part of the magnet assembly is concentric with the piezoelectric transducer. The magnet assembly defines a gap between axially adjacent parts of the magnet assembly, wherein the gap is dimensioned to be sufficiently small that the magnet assembly applies a static compressive force to the piezoelectric transducer while being sufficiently large to allow for axial movement of the piezoelectric transducer without closing the gap.
