Hello Electro Tech, my first post here.
I am trying to arrange around 5 quartz oscillators (tuning forks) into a circuit. Not trying to make a clock, solely to get a small number of these oscillators I bought to vibrate at their res 32.768kHz frequency.

This is my first circuit project, and my goal is to create a mini humidifier (like the small nebulizing devices you can buy walmart). I know this isn't going to generate near the efficiency or potential these devices can put out, but I figure this would be a good project as I am interested in piezoelectrics.
I intend on removing the metal casings of the oscillators, so the bare quartz is exposed.
I figure if I get a higher amount of amplitude behind them compared to their usual application in clocks/timing, it may be enough to atomize droplets of water.
According to Lang's formula for particle size and atomization, I think I should get some atomized droplets and humidity out of this.

So I need a power source, an oscillator, and a driver put into a circuit similar to a traditional quartz clock, but with more oscillators, a bit more power, and no timing or gears to run.
If anyone could help steer me in the right direction on what kind of circuit I need and how I can accomplish this project it would be greatly appreciated! (I know this might seem odd or elementary to some of you, but I figure I should start somewhere.)
