Water Flowing in Pipe Indicator

The vibrations associated with water flowing through a pipe are picked up by an inexpensive piezoelectric wafer. The signal from the wafer is first boosted by a micropower transistor amplifier and then fed to an ultra low power voltage comparator. When the vibration signal has sufficient amplitude, a FET transistor switch is activated. Drawing only 6uA, the whole circuit is powered by a lithium coin battery, which should power the circuit for many years. Source: discovercircuits
