Make Your Own Super Simple Ultrasonic Mist Maker

In this project I will be showing you how to create a simple driver circuit for a 113kHz ultrasonic piezoelectric disc. The circuit basically consists of a 555 timer circuit, a MOSFET and a couple of complementary components. Along the way I will also show you how the commercial product works. Let's get started!

Step 1: Watch the Video!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own ultrasonic mist maker circuit. During the next steps though I will present you some additional information.

Step 2: Order Your Components!

Here you can find a parts list with example seller for the 555 Timer circuit (affiliate links):
