The following lists are divided into 2 categories. The first category consists of things you NEED
to complete the project, while the other list consists of things that are very HELPFUL.
1. Shoes
2. Piezo electric elements (x14)
3. Rechargeable battery pack w/ charger(x1)
4. Hot glue gun w/ hot glue
5. Soldering iron + solder
6. Foam/cardboard/anything you can squish
7. Access to a 3D printer
8. 1n4001 - 1N4007 Diodes (x4)
1. Dremel tool
2. Helping hands
3. Velcro strips (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)
4. Multimeter
5. heat gun (if taking apart CFL bulb)
6. ruler/caliper
7.
Ok, so for those of you who do not know how to read a circuit diagram, those 4 line segments
with arrows on them represent diodes. The arrows always point to the side of the diode that is
marked, also known as the positive side. If you have small, rectangular diodes like me, the
positve sides are not marked by coloration, but rather small, engraved lines/notches. By
following this diagram, you should be able to create the bridge diode.
1. Wire the piezo element wires to the bridge diode according to the circuit diagram. Since
the current is AC, the position of the wires are interchangeable, as long as they connect to
the correct diodes in the diagram.
2. Strip the usb charge cable that came with your battery pack to reveal the internal wires.
3. For the purpose of this project, we will only need the red and black wires, so strip those
as well.
4. Twist the frayed wire strands of each wire, and tin them with solder
5. Solder the wires to the bridge diode accordingly. Be sure to check polarity since DC
voltage has positive and negative terminals.
6. Hot glue the connections to prevent the wires from breaking off.
