  2. Hydrophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophone

    A hydrophone (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ + φωνή, lit. 'water + sound') is a microphone designed for underwater use, for recording or listening to underwater sound. Most hydrophones contains a piezoelectric transducer that generates an electric potential when subjected to a pressure change, such as a sound wave.

  3. Tonpilz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonpilz

    The term tonpilz or "acoustic mushroom" may refer to a certain type of underwater electro-acoustic transducer. By sandwiching active (i.e. piezoelectric or magnetostrictive) materials between a light, stiff radiating head mass and a heavy tail mass, the transducer can effectively operate as either a projector (source) or a hydrophone (underwater acoustic receiver).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppenhorchgerät

    The individual microphones had to be connected manually to take bearings. They were not very reliable, so other transducers were experimented with. Dynamic microphones were also discarded. At the end of the process, the piezoelectric principle was deemed the most suitable. This was discovered by Pierre Curie in 1880. The quartz crystals ...

  5. Seismic data acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_data_acquisition

    A hydrophone is a seismic receiver that is typically used in marine seismic acquisition, and it is sensitive to changes in pressure caused by acoustic pulses in its surrounding environment. Typical hydrophones utilise piezoelectric transducers that, when subjected to changes in pressure, produce an electric potential which is directly ...

    Compared to a scalar pressure sensor, such as a hydrophone, which measures the scalar acoustic field component, a vector sensor measures the vector field components such as acoustic particle velocities. Vector sensors can be categorized into inertial and gradient sensors. [9] Vector sensors have been widely researched over the past few decades.

    Piezoelectric balance presented by Pierre Curie to Lord Kelvin, Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. Piezoelectricity (/ ˌ p iː z oʊ-, ˌ p iː t s oʊ-, p aɪ ˌ iː z oʊ-/, US: / p i ˌ eɪ z oʊ-, p i ˌ eɪ t s oʊ-/) [1] is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials—such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA, and various proteins—in ...

  9. Contact microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_microphone

    Piezo ceramic on metal disc. A piezoelectric sensor is the most commonly available contact microphone. It is made of a thin piezoelectric ceramic disc glued to a thin brass or alloy metal disc (see image). The voltage produced from the sound vibrations can be measured across them. [3]
