It's not Rochelle Salt. It's lead-titanate-zirconate, and we're not talking
thin wafers like in electronic beepers. These are big thick discs. The most
commonly used transducers have three of these in series, clamped inside a
heavy stainless steel housing by a pair of Belville steel spring-washers and
resonate at 54kHz.

Lead-titanate-zirconate also has pyroelectric properties. We used to heat
them up with a heat gun which charged them to several kV and leave them
lying around for the unwary!

I like the remark about scepticism. While the scientific community are busy
being sceptical, there is at least one lab that's being heated for next to
nothing by Cold Fusion and several buildings with their central heating run
by extreme water compressor turbines run by 600W motors generating the
equivalent of several kW of heat from Zero Point Energy!
And millions of people are sill being cured by Homeopathic remedies so
dilute that there cannot possibly be any trace of the active ingredient left
in the tablet or water!
(Source: Channel 4 UK TV documentaries a few years ago.)
And all the scepticism in the world didn't stop Prof. Laithwaite discovering
that a gyroscope that he could hardy lift when stationary weighed so much
less when running that he could easily lift it, and that a contraption he
designed using gyros moved in one direction only as a gyro swung from side
to side instead of reciprocating as it should have done.
And what happened to him? He got completely ostracised by the scientific
community and even the BBC dropped him like a hot potato.
It took a good few years for him to resurface in a BBC series called
'Heretics' where his discoveries were again described. They still worked -
so his detractors said they challenged his finding because being an engineer
more than a scientist, he'd got some of his mathematics wrong! So what? The
damned things still worked!
Cold Fusion and Zero Point Energy also turned up again in this series, were
not disproved but were rejected for similar, spurious reasons.
And beef whore you poo-poo this, remember that when the series was first
shown, people said the communicators in Start Wreck would be totally
impossible. OK. Hands up all those who've got Mobile Phones/Cellphones - and
especially hands up all those who have Satellite Phones! The same thing was
also said of video phones.
Also poo-pooed as impossible by a correspondent in Wireless World magazine
in 1931 - Arthur C. Clarke's idea for communications satellites, and later,
in the 70s I think it was, digital storage of music, also declared
impossible in the same magazine because "the memory reguired would be the
size of a house and would require the ouutput of an entire power station to
power it"!!! :o) Hands up all those who own an MP3 player!
I also remember high power RF transistors being considered impossible in the
50s/60s too - and in all these cases, the sceptical 'experts' involved
declared that all these things would remain impossible for all time!
Agreed the early ones were so unreliable that they were known as
'three-legged fuses' - but this problem was solved by building in VSWR
detector circuitry in the transmitters to reduce the power to the output
transistors in the case of a mis-match before the VSWR blew them up.
It was much easier with valves/tubes. With RF output valves like the 807,
you knew if you had a mis-matched aerial because the VSWR would make the
anode glow red hot!!
