Description in text if you opt out of uploading a file:

A pickups is a microphone like those in electric guitars which amplifies metal vibration andelectromagnetic fields.

This microphone does not regulate the vibrations of the air, but all the vibrations of metallic objects and also in contact with the
surface of the magnet. It will be possible to amplify the vibration of a guitar string, springs and all others metallic objects. This
microphone is also sensitive to the perturbation of electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, digital screens and other electronic devices.
description workshop :

The workshop proposes to create a magnetic pickup from simple elements of our daily diverted from their primary utility to build at a lower
cost a proper magnetic pickup ; using a strong neodymium magnet, copper wire wound with a drill (or a winding machine) around a steel
axle.

Recycled » means we need recycle some coils in old radios, dvd
player, hard drive...

The aim is to make the difference in application about piezzoelectricity and electromagnetism and associate both amplification systems to produce
sound differently.
