Wow genius, thanks !! I wonder if coupled with a (broken but not fallen) securit glass it could generate enough electricity to be usable.. As this kind of glass tend to crack like a fire almost indefinitively with any heat, vibrations, mouvement in the room...

Sweet! Can you grow a crystal between two metal plates? When using commercial audio pickups I found that diodes/leds flatten spikes from hard smacks. An opto-isolator can make a CMOS-safe switch. But those crystals use more exotic elements.
I dont know how youd get crystals to bond to a metal other than by using an electrolysis style growth like how youd do with copper and silver.. to make a crystal form on two different pieces at the same time would be super difficult to make one with a structure sound enough to bond the plates or couple the plates together.. on piezo buzzers they just use the amalgam and drop the stuff on a disc, place leads on the disc and in the material and let the crystals form but i dunno what they use in top of the disc to electromechanically isolate the material from the metal disc..
Would you happen to know why it might go wrong? I did what you explained and have the crystals but cannot get any voltage off of it. I tried using pure water and sodium "carbonate" and still not workin!
The brownish color looks like impurities in the solution. You can get better crystals if you apply a recrystallization process first. Recrystalization. 1) After filtering the solution put it on heat again to evaporate off water untill you see the first crystal forming. 2) Then chill it to almost freezing so as to get the most crystals. 3) Take all the crystals out and put in just enough heated distilled water to redissolve all the crystals you have collected. Then let the solution cool and your crystals will be much more pure than the crystals from the start. Then to get a large crystal after recrystalization. 1) taking out a good crystal you want to use as a seed crystal and put it aside. 2) Then reheat the solution along with the poor crystals untill they have disappeared add a tiny amount of water if nessesary. 3) take the solution off the heat and shortly afterwards reinsert your good crystal as the seed crystal.
Susanna, thanks so much for sharing such a very interesting video. I would suggest dubbing the audio of the first part of the video, since it is extremely difficult to understand. You can replace the audio without uploading a new video. Best. D.
No! Piezo electric works by deforming a nondonductive crystal. The deformation moves electrons in the lattice just a little to one side. The collective effect is a measurable electric field. That field can then electrostatic induction (push/pull) on electrons in conductive plates similarly to a capacitor. When electrons in the plates are allowed to flow in a circuit, they will eventually equalize. Once the plate's field equalizes the crystal's field, there's no more voltage potential between the plates.
@@kreynolds1123 Have you tried putting some piezo in a vice to see? One video showed a guy crushing one of those lighter starters with a pair of strong pliers, and it continued to put out power afterward..
Crushing Randomizes the electric fields generated on crystal deformation. Net effect is no significant electric field as a whole. I dont know if this will work but maybe you'd have something if it is possible to align all the crystals in a binder with an externally applied electric field of thousands of volts. And, the binder would needs to be non conductive and have a low dielectric constant.
I'm wondering if it's possible to powderize this material and imbed it into ceramic material to improve it's integrity and regularity like they do with factory made peizo. I may try as that would open a lot.of doors for my off grid setup. Currently piezo charges my phone with wind and water
@@nili8529 I have a flexible ice cream container with 8 piezo ceramic disks glued to 4 of the inner walls of the ice ream container. There is a hole drilled in the top of the container with a long dowel poking out. The dowel is attached to the floor of the container using a spring, the dowel acts as a wind vein. The dowel is connected to each of the piezos via a spring. the while thing is then setup[ in series and fed into a 24-5v regulator for charging purposes. With my current setup I have seen voltages around 21V @ 0.6A. I'm pretty sure I could charge 2-3 phones off of this at once. Runs on almost no wind. 3-4Km/h. if there is enough air movement/noise to move a blade of grass then this will work. I'm still trying to improve the design as the box I'm using could be a bit taller and I want to add some extra components like indicator lights and all that.
@@hogandromgool2062 Wow, that's interesting and the best thing is that it's working. I never got these things to work except lighting a LED lol. But I still didn't get how you're generating a charge? As we know that pressing/deforming the piezo element generates a little voltage. What is pressing the piezo? The springs? Thanks for the reply :)
Crushing the crystls Randomizes the electric fields generated on crystal deformation. The net effect is no significant electric field as a whole. So no. But, I dont know if this will work but maybe you'd have something if it is possible to align all the crystals in a binder with an externally applied electric field of thousands of volts.

@@hogandromgool2062 Have you tried putting those crystals in a vacuum sealed jar? I am curious as to what the effect would be. Maybe drill holes thru the lid and put the wires through, sealing them with a good caulk or other sealer to stop all air from getting thru..then heat ..just curious..
Electric spark lighters need sufficent voltage to cause a break down in the gap. That is roughly 3000volts per milimeter. Your piezo needs to make 1500volts to spark across 0.5 millimeter. Then you need conductive plates on each side where the electric field in the crystal can electrostatic induct electrons on the plate to move.
Marvellous I’ll be making some for my thermoacoustic resonator I have designed check it out last video on my channel i’m using a large bass speaker to harvest electrical energy maybe this will be more simplified
A large part of what makes a piezo material a good piezo material is the amount of deformation in the material in an electric field. I'm guessing sugar doesn't deform much inside an electric field.
Both are suger , but one natural form other refined may be the chemical additives that are mixed with it for making it crystal clear, affects its crystal properties .
@@omsingharjit certainly the purity in a crystal can effects its properties. But I suspect that sugar crystals in general are not widely used as a piezo simply because the amount of deformation in a given electric field is not as greate as better piezo materials.
Thanks for sharing Susana. very helpful to finish the homework
Great video thank you. Is there a way to mold these crystals to a desired shape? Anyone

Thank you. I learnt something new today!

Very nice video and intresting
A question please: What is the difference between flintstone (firestone) and piezoelectric or amorph?
A Firestone uses the principle of friction while piezoelectric crystals use the principle of piezoelectricity!
Super! Thank you very much!

Doesn't metabisulfite perform the same function as potassium sodium tartrate? Thank you very much.

Does slow cooling will make larger crystal like silicon single crystal growth? You can use thermoelectric chamber at home to do that
Slow cooling may help make fewer but larger crystals. But, it would be immensely beneficial to get purer crystals first by recrystalizing.
Want to get in touch with you. Please provide email or anything
If you put a crystal under constant pressure does it provide constent current?
No! Piezo electric works by deforming a nondonductive crystal. The deformation moves electrons in the lattice just a little to one side. The collective effect is a measurable electric field.

Hi great video, would it still work if I grounded up the crystals into smaller pieces like powder?

A little bit of oregano to adjust the impedance.
One wants high impedence in the crystal. 😁
