Quite easy to build.
The problem is to get ahold of the parts.
Get a well know console controller, take out the two actuators and mount them in any other form factors you like.
You can drive them with an audio pipeline, they are effectively a 4 ohm speaker. Attach them to a sound card and you can have your stereo haptics subwoofers.
You have to filter out aggressively the resonance frequency of the actuator to get a flattish response. Not that subpac or the other folks do so
- clolege 4y agoHow many watts can those handle? I would imagine wanting something more powerful.
- EricHaptics 4y agoNo idea, worst case scenario the stator comes out and you find your limit :) The key is to mount them properly on the body to maximize mechanical coupling. You don’t need a lot of watts if the losses are almost zero. If you want more, build an array of actuators and spread them out. More immersive feeling compared to a stronger one.
