I tried doing a voltage divider and i'm assuming the current loss was the reason it wouldn't work. Can you help me out with what a regulator consists of?

I have a 9V power supply and a motor that runs on 1.5-3V. I need to incorporate a pot/rheo so that I can adjust the speed. Please help. This should be easy, but it's stumping me.

yeah i was planning on going with a dc motor. only thing i'm worried about is ordering them, and then them not being strong enough to spin the tassles. they were wanting metal tassles. Is there a rating for how much weight motors can spin?

I recently had someone approach me for a custom contact mic that would be a bullet bra (like madonna's cone bra dealio), but made out of metal with tassles. I know it's crazy, but it totally fits the ppl it's for. I suggested hooking up two motors to the tassles to make them spin haha. Here's a sketch of what i plan to do. Please feel free to make suggestions on the wiring and such. I really wanted to post this to see if the way i have it laid out seems reasonable.  |

This is a new prototype. It's a "Nail Scraper." The bolts are screwed thru a solid block of wood that has an aluminum plate underneath that is screwed on. There is a piezo between that and the wooden block. The hand-sharpened bolts are tightly screwed on with a drop of solder to bond the metals. This makes a better connection with the piezo's disc which picks up the vibrations of the bolts. Sounds absolutely amazing when used with a distortion pedal or something that boosts the volume. The wooden body and steel bolts assure that this is an abuse ready mic. the 1/4" jack is also all metal. The cable is about 6" long, and is instrument cable - not just wire. The one in the picture is the only one available now, but I can easily make these to order. I will post a video soon.

I bought a lot of tape heads online recently that arrived today. I was hoping to make something similar to a tape head violin, but am lost.
I first soldered the head to a 1/4'' jack, no response. Then i tested the piece with a 9v battery attached, and no response.
I'm assuming there will be some circuitry needed to get this thing to work. if anyone knows a simple, and i mean minimal, way for me to achieve this please help me! haha. thanks!

what he said
and oxidation can mess you up as well, so use q-tips and rubbing alcohol to clean boards/parts before soldering
also soldering paste
you might want to get some copper braid or a solder sucker to remove any "messes" you make. It definitely helps.

I've been looking at a lot of pitch shifting schematics today, and honestly haven't really gotten very far. I'm looking for something super simple to start off with. If you could help me out that would be greatly appreciated!
