im not sure if im posting this in the right section but.......
im trying to fit a speaker + battery in a rod the size of a spoon handle, not sure if its possible. the smallest speaker i can find is the piezo speakers (the kind u find in greetings cards) but i think even thats too big. any ideas?
sub mini speaker maybe ? Subminiature Speakers :: Knowles
May we ask why?

lol she btw but im trying to design a spoon that will indicate water level for blind people. i dont want to make a huge ass spoon either lol it has to be in keeping with the culture of tea drinking, not some alien product. so yeah, thats y i need info
aaah, cool
A spoon that will indicate the water level for blind people!
When you make it go on Dragons Den. You'll be minted.
lol now that i've announced it i cant patent it.......altho i do have uni protection of design
Does it have to be a full blown speaker, or just anything that makes a sound (buzzer)?
They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.
anything that makes a sound loud enough to alert someone, buzzers etc are fine
Ahh... now I understand what that other thread was all about
What about these:
Maplin > Piezo Transducers
Or is that what you've already discounted as too big?
If so, I'd have a look through an RS components (or similar) catalogue.
Ventcroft - 24 Mini Sounder
Is the best I've found, but it doesn't state it's dimensions.
Even "mini" buzzers are relatively huge compared to the handle of a teaspoon. Could you flare the top of the teaspoon to house the buzzer or would it look too much like something from mothercare... I want these ones
They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.
I reckon you could get a reed relay to buzz pretty loudly - it would certainly be sufficient for someone to feel. Plus they are small and pretty linear in shape.
Good idea, you'd have to squeeze a coil in there next to it, but it'd long and thin, so much easier to hide in a teaspoon.
Twiglet, what type of batteries are you going to use?
Edit: What's more, a rapidly switching reed relay might have enough momentum to make the whole spoon rattle/buzz against the porcelain of the mug.

Surely you could just go for a bulbus tip?
It would make it easyer to hold, and they're blind so they're not going to think it looks ugly (and all prototypes have a habbit of fealing nasty).
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
This quite a cool idea, good luck with it
