+# Cook Piezo electric crystals
+
+In this cooking or growing process, we experiment with different online
+manuals, and follow the advise, experience and praxis of different
+interviewees: Perkisas Tyché (UA Antwerpen), Selma (Bosnian high School
+project). We selected Rochelle Salt as a 'test piezo electric crystal',
+as we can grow it in the our DIY
+lab.
+

+
+`  - no pure crystals:  due to unknown quality of cream of tartare`

+
+The best crystals get selected for using as seed crystals, to enhance
+the purity and size of the crystal and get a monocrystalline Rochelle
+Salt. The challenge is to make an oversaturated solution and hang the
+seed crystal inside, so it will grow.

+` - crystals disslove, probably due to natriumbicarbonate, which contains hydrogen `

+Batch 4

+  - INSTRUCTIONS

+
+Replace sodiumbicarbonate with sodiumcarbonate and experiment with
+different grow carriers.

+
+After calculating the [ molecular
+weight](https://www.lenntech.com/calculators/molecular/molecular-weight-calculator.htm "wikilink")
+of the different ingredients we decided upon the following values: -
+demineralized water (125ml) - potassium tartare (100g) - sodiumcarbonate
+(23g+ 10g)
+
+The most important factor to calculate was the molecular weight
+difference between Sodiumbicarbonate and Sociumcarbonate, As in the
+process of 'drying', the sodiumbircabonate, we need to know the weight
+of the hydrogen which evaporates, well described in
+[1](https://www.thoughtco.com/make-sodium-carbonate-from-sodium-bicarbonate-608266)

+### SESSION 4 buratinas
+
+Batch 6
+
+It is quiet hot outside, we are installed in a the Brussels boatwarf,
+along the Brussels Canal, the wind comes from North, North west, and it
+is around 25° degrees and there is a 62% relative humidity. The lab is
+installed in the boat under a solar panel where the temprature is
+slightly higher. Due to shortage of certain ingredients we divide the
+quantity by 100.
+
+\- demineralized water (1,25ml) - potassium tartare (1,00g) -
+sodiumcarbonate (0,33g)
+
+After cooking, we add a little alcohol (jenever) based on a procedure of
+various artists to enhance the process
+
+Batch 7
+
+On the Brussels canals, in the boat is around 30°, it is 32 relative
+humidity, the orgonite is activated and there is only 2 mm of water in
+the boat.
+
+### SESSION 5 w-o-l-k-e
+
+We are surrounded by a lot of different minerals: quartz, tourmaline,
+pierrite, amethint; agathe.

+## Measure Piezo electricity
+

+
+![Signaling.jpg](images/Signaling.jpg "Signaling.jpg")
+
+  - report different crystals/ voltage
+difference
+
+` - when hitting the crystal,the piezo elctricity is visible on the oscilloscope, but on very low voltages`
+
+  - using different Opamp to increase the signal
+
+![Sound-opamp.jpg](images/Sound-opamp.jpg "Sound-opamp.jpg")
+
+` - opamps have to low input Voltage to amplify (50mV); seemingly we amplify the interference and receive a lot of FM radio `
+
+  - piezo amplification

+## Resonance Frequency
+
+![Sudo-vvp.jpg](images/Sudo-vvp.jpg "Sudo-vvp.jpg")
+
+We tried to drive the piezo crystal with a signal generator at 1kHz, 10V
+peak to peak - no sound. Switched to the ceramic piezo - heard a clear
+beep.
+
+![Cc-signalgenerator.jpg](images/Cc-signalgenerator.jpg "Cc-signalgenerator.jpg")
+
+We taped the round ceramic piezo to the grown crystal; powered the
+ceramic piezo from the signal generator, and measured voltage from the
+grown crystal with the oscilloscope. The ceramic piezo acts as a
+speaker, vibrating the crystal. The crystal then acts as a microphone
+turning sound waves back into electricity. We +noticed that the faint
+60Hz ripple on the oscilloscope actually flattened when we powered the
+ceramic piezo at 1kHz, but didn't see any actual 1kHz signal on the
+oscilloscope. So we increased the frequency on the signal generator, and
+we started seeing a signal on the oscilloscope - yay\! 10kHz seemed to
+produce the strongest signal out of the crystal.
+
+![Sudo-crystal.jpg](images/Sudo-crystal.jpg "Sudo-crystal.jpg")
+
+Next, we detached the grown crystal from the ceramic piezo, and taped it
+on a small cardboard box as an acoustic resonator. Then we connected the
+signal generator to the grown crystal directly (10kHz, 10V
+peak-to-peak), and heard a faint high-pitched
+beep.
+
+`  - To confirm the value of the signal generator, as it could also be 10Mhz.`
