What converts mechanical energy to elecrical energy?
The most common is the generator. But don't forget the piezoelectric crystals in ignitors and strain gauges.
How do you pronounce piezoelectric crystal?
Like this: (piezoelectric-crystal)
What happens when piezoelectric crystals are kept in water?
Many piezoelectric crystals can be used in water with no issues.
What is a special propertie for amethyst?
it is piezoelectric
Which one is piezoelectric material?
quartz
Is piezoelectric effect renewable?
yes
What is piezoelectric crystal?
Piezoelectricity is the property of a material to generate movement from an electric current, and vice versa. A common piezoelectric material is quartz.
What happens to a piezoelectric crystal when it is squeezed?
When you squeeze a piezoelectric crystal, electricity forms. This is helpful in products such as watches, microphones, computers, and gas grills.
Basic principle for the piezoelectric accelerometer?
Piezoelectric is natural, as acceleration is directly proportional to force. In a piezoelectric accelerometer, charge accumulates on the crystal and is translated and amplified into either an output current or voltage, so this only respond to AC phenomenon such as vibration or shock.
Is barium titanate a piezoelectric substance?
yes
What has the author A S DeReggi written?
A. S. DeReggi has written: 'Piezoelectric polymer transducer for dynamic pressure measurements' -- subject(s): Piezoelectric transducers
How can you convert sound energy into electrical power which can be stored for using later?
You can use a piezoelectric device. Piezoelectric devices are commonly used to convert back and forth between mechanical and electrical energy. Examples include cheap electrical buzzers and cigarette lighters (those that create a spark to light the butane). To efficiently use a piezoelectric device you must devise an acoustic amplifier to increase the pressure on the surface of the piezoelectric as much as possible, and then efficiently store the piezoelectric power via diodes (and other marvelous circuit elements) into a capacitor.
