Lots of experiments lately. I built a piezo array consisting of 5 in-series, and then made 3 of those lines, for a total of 15 piezos. After the piezos had settled for awhile, the voltages were tested on *each* piezo. One piezo was producing 5.5 volts. ...

I was in a dark room for ~ 10 minutes. I would describe the light intensity produced by the LED as being bright, and ...
