Certain crystals, like quartz will produce a voltage when hit. It's all to do with the arrangement of atoms and charge in the lattice. It's used in lots of things like piezo lighters, sensors, speakers and oscillators for timekeeping.

Two quarts of what
You're a wizard harry
1:57 fun fact: when you take a rock with lots quartz in it (say, a large chunk of quartz) and rub it against another rock (it's best with another large chuck of quartz), the quartz will make a dust (that is *hazardous to breathe in* ). Those tiny flakes break in such a way that rubbing them will create light. 👍

I always cordoned off Piezoelectricity as one of those things I just wouldn't ever really understand. It's sort of delightfully simple thanks to your breakdown! Really appreciate this video, it opens up a better understanding of so many electronics.
now the question remains, is a voltage being produced by the impulse or impact from compressing/deforming and relaxing the crystal, or do you think a constant pressure would yield a constant voltage?
Where does the Cristal recharge it's charges from?
@@DANTHETUBEMAN from unicorn blood
@@GabrielCazorlaPersson1 - Are you familiar with the Earthtide theory as the mechanism for Earth's magnetic field? Imo it makes more sense than the core dynamo hypothesis. The gist is that 95% of the Earth's crust is quartz-based, and that tidal forces from the Moon produce a diurnal flexing on the Earth's heavily faulted crust, which generates a piezoelectric field - "magnetic field" is a misnomer. Anyway, it solves many of the mysteries associated with the field and provides predictive ability whereas the dynamo theory does not.
Thanks Steve

He had me until he said chakras don't exists 🤣a bit ignorant for an intelligent man. But that's okay a little research will enlighten you.
@@jeffv2074 that’s because he’s talking about things that exist in real life and not how you feel. Nobody cares how you feel, it holds no bearing on reality. Your gods are fake, your chakras are fake, your demons are fake. It is a waste of all of everyone’s time to speak on the subject
@@jeffv2074 I won't say Chakras definitively don't exist, but you should at least respect it's not the same realm of hard science that this video covers - i.e. directly quantifiable materials physics.
At best it's a "softer" or more holistic science closer to the realms of medicine or neurology/psychology. And even within that realm the notion of Chakras is not super well supported in any sort of large scale, peer reviewed, replicable study (that I know of). Which again, doesn't mean it's wrong necessarily, but it's entirely understandable why some people would have doubts about it.
At the very least wouldn't be as condescending towards skeptics as you're being. You might be surprised to learn there's a lot of very intelligent people who don't believe in Chakras. Granted I also know plenty of intelligent people who *do* believe in chakras and various other spiritual/semi-spiritual concepts. But even among the latter group I've met, I don't think any ever claimed that there's convincing concrete research behind it at the moment.
Steve covers an amazing range of topics - chemistry, electronics, physics, crystallography and more. Probably one of the best channels on CZcams.
In the absence of referencing a textbook for confirmation, I thought this was a very succinct explanation that would be a great starting point for anyone interested in this effect.
Thanks for the great work, Steve! Keep it up 👍🏻
This is amazing, I had no idea that's how those lighters worked.

Captivating and inspiring an audience is a rare ability
These types of teachers are the only ones I really learned anything from, because I could relate to every day life, this stayed interested.
It's good to see that you don't try and impress your audience by speak too quickly like most CZcamsrs.
Your teaching is very good because of this. You take the time to explain things in detail.
It's about time a CZcamsr had the sense to know that an audience learns better when a teacher explains things at a slower rate than other CZcamsrs priding themselves at how quickly they can speak.
ur very lucky to have teacher like that

@@bhogarsishyan5769 Fooling manipulable people is not funny, we are not laughing.
The fact that people buy these is seriously concerning, as it is not "alternative medicine", it's just a placebo, and for a high price.
Accepting the existance of things like chakras without any sort of evidence for them is very childish, same with other dogma.
Scepticism is the thing that makes the scientific method the best way to obtain truth about our surroundings: constantly checking if you are wrong, not if you are right. Once you realize that "alternative medicine" (like crystal-healing and homeopathy, etc.) is not medicine, simply a psychology trick to take your money, you might actually start learning that the world is not so simple.
It's also good to eradicate your biases, for that I'd recommend yourbias.is , for not commiting logical fallacies, I'd recommend yourlogicalfallacyis.com

MR.MOULD, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW NUCH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND HOW MUCH YOU'VE TAUGHT ME AND KEEP EXCITED ABOUT THESE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA.
I'm a dentist and we studied about the piezoelectric theory in orthodontics (braces work). Yes piezoelectric happens in your body too, but i never quite understood what it really was.
There are a lot of stuff we study and just get over it not actually quite going into the depth of each phenomena (for understandable reasons) and i wpuld stop and think about them. Somehow too often i end up finding a video of yours explaining the phenomena and satisfying my curiosity.
So thank you Mr. Mould.
I've a deep passion for learning. Alhamdulilah.
My friend... I'm 34 and I've tried to mentally visualize how this stuff works, and I've watched many videos in my time on CZcams, but you nailed it. This is amazing! I am gonna watch more of your vids and subscribe!
This is one of the most fascinating concepts in all of science to me. It seems like there could be a lot more hidden potential here.

@@codpug You're lying to yourself and you're lying to the world when you say these things. Nobody is trying to hide history, what would anyone have to gain from that?

Steve, thank you for helping me to understand,( what would have been) something waaay too scientific for me to grasp, by keeping it simple, to the point, and the visuals. (I loved the peanut butter lids)
I am a crystal collector and I have recently become very intrigued by orgonite crystal pyramids (have you heard of them?) and how they work. I was skeptical as to if a man made construction as such could actually produce piezoelectric energy as they claim, and thanks to this video, it all makes sense. 👍🙂.
Some people believe the pyramids in Egypt were power plants. They say the outside was an insulator, and the inside was a conductor, and when the ground water would rise and fall, energy was generated. That may be a reason it was such a huge accomplishment. Idk about the crystal pyramids, but I'll check it out.
This reminded me of an old crystal radio kit I had as a kid. I remember the it has a special piezoelectric ear bud with it. About 25 years later I think I understand a bit about how that kit worked after watching this video.
Dude your videos are SO GOOD
I knew of the piezoelectric effect and had been explained it, but you do it in such a clear and concise way, it's great to listen to and finally be able to internalize it.
Thanks a lot!

Up de butt
My favourite application of the piezo effect is a marine depth finder. Same element acts as transmitter and receiver. That's cool. Thanks Steve.
I'm a biologist, but our confocal microscopes also make use of the piezoelectric effect.
To adjust the focus, there are of course mechanical gears that adjust the position of the objective relative to the sample with exquisite precision. But for some application where both speed and even higher precision are needed, microscopes can be outfitted with a piezoelectric focusing system.
The range of motion is smaller, but the objective can be moved tiny amounts with a precision down to 10s of nanometres within microseconds. This is especially useful for certain modes the microscopes can use, such as resonance scanning mode, which allow us to capture images at very high speed in the xy plane. The piezoelectric focus adjuster gives us a matching fast way to adjust the z-plane.
I don't know which specific materials they use, but the principle is the same. By applying a specific voltage, the crystals deform in length and can be used to position the objective.
6:40 you just explained piezoelectric pickups for guitars! Thank you good sir
Great, another creator I gotta sub to because they make good content *sigh* my crowded dashboard, woe is me. 😉
I remember an old interview with guitarist and multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, talking about having used earthquake sensors, little piezoelectric discs, as guitar pickups.
What is this? Something to record the guitar from inside?
@@Enrique-peralta , since piezoelectric crystal's produce voltage when vibrated, you can stick them inside the body of an acoustic guitar and they will pick up the vibrations of the wood, which is somewhat analogous to the vibrations of the strings. The trick to getting a good sound, of course, would be placement of the piezo pickup, or pickups (plural), and whether you blend it with some kind of internal or external microphone or even a magnetic pickup that senses the string vibration directly. At least one company makes piezo type pickups that go underneath the bridge saddle and have six individual piezo crystals for the contact points of the six strings. I don't know what the favorite pick up systems are now, but back in the 80s and 90s Sunrise and Fishman, and to a lesser extent Barcus-Barry, were the ones that people were mostly using. I believe at least one of these systems had an internal microphone as well as the piezo pickup.
I thought they worked by em induction, oh i guess multiple types.
Another common use is in ultrasound machines where the crystal is used as both a speaker and microphone/reciever.
Same with drive-through speakers.
this is a great video. Thank you for explaining why the butane long neck lighters are difficult to light (but you left out another main reason, they make them child proof now, lighters weren't that hard to light years ago, they didn't have the extra safety button you have to hold, so that factors into it). I bought a piezo electric long neck lighter about 5 years ago (primarily to light candles in glass candle holders where a smaller lighter won't reach), it works great, never have an issue lighting candles. Before having the piezo lighter, I used to go through many butane lighters, they would stop working quickly (even after refilling with butane).
100% i often remove the extra safety spring or try use a rly old lighter it annoys me i have to consider safety! Theres no kids getting it how about teaching parenting rather than making laws about safety lighters that then inconvenience me for a kid who dont exists safety! I hate the after 2000s world so much lol!

Fantastic video, as always.
Another interesting use of piezoelectric crystals is when you need extreme accuracy in the measurement of distancies (for example in interferometers), by applying a small voltage to the crystal you can shift it's length with a resolution of a fraction of a nanometer (10^-9 meters)!
So basically crystals are magic

This is fascinating
Me at the beginning: "Piezoelectric," sounds like a Piezo pickup.
Me at the end when you used it as a microphone: OH THAT'S WHY!
Logan Strong Hi I’m an elementary audio guy here, what does a Piezo pick do?
@@natheniel it's a pickup for acoustic instruments, like cello or acoustic guitar. Idk exactly how it works, but by the name I'm guessing it's the piezoelectric effect.
As the vibrations travel through the crystalline structure theres compression and expansion happening, producing an electric voltage. Well, something along those lines anyways.
@@natheniel Also known as contact microphones, they are used to pick up only the sound from the instrument/object they placed in contact with, not picking up surrounding air vibrations like an ordinary microphone, isolating the sound.
The sound waves (aka compression waves) in the instrument's body make its way to the piezo pick-up and consequently compress it, in turn generating an electric signal which is then sent to an amplifier. Piezo pick-ups work better when they have direct contact with a hard surfaces as you might've guessed from this video.
Love this, takes me back to my days with the old toy crystal radio
Crystal radio?
@@Slay_No_More Oh yea; you can find an article about them on wikipedia. Basically you take a coil of wire, a capacitor, a crystal detector, and earphones to make a simple radio. Moving the contact to different spots on the coil lets you receive different radio frequencies. Some companies sell little science project kits of them
