This document discusses piezoelectricity and its applications. Piezoelectricity was discovered in 1880 and refers to the generation of an electric field when pressure is applied to certain crystalline materials. Common applications include gas lighters, mobile keypads, floor mats, and energy harvesting from ambient vibrations in environments like gyms. Piezoelectric materials produce low voltages and microwatts of power, but can be arranged in series to increase output. In conclusion, piezoelectricity is a promising green energy source that converts ambient mechanical vibrations into usable electrical energy.
