How a Lighter works Piezo Crystal Lighter Part 2

- In this video I have explained about the spark generation in Piezo Crystal Gas Lighter.
1. How much force is applied to the piezo crystal to generate electric arc
2. How much voltage is generated by the piezo crystal which form an electric arc
3. How the electron flows in the lighter when a person ignites it.
and much more has been discussed in this video with 2-D animation.
OMG! Thank you for explaining this! never knew about piezo crystals.
nice video tho. only one small mistake: the generated voltage is not 800 volts, you can eyeball the high voltage with simple rule: 1mm of air needs roughly 1kV to overcome the gap.
Hey @felixyasnopolski8571, thank you so much for you comment and the observation.
BTW, nice observation, however if you will see the complete setup there are 2 places where spark/arc need to be generated, one which is observable - i.e. the one which you have noticed.
The second spark is happening when the electron will transfer from metallic leaver to spring end point which resided under the push button.
After all this I have measured the Voltage using multimeter to confirm the value and the video for the same will be available soon 🙂.
BTW very nice observation and thank you once again for you valuable comment and sharing you opinion.
@@PiyushPrasoon you can't correctly measure high voltages with ordinary multimeter :) and there's some reasons:
1. Multimeter isn't built for measuring voltages over 1kV, divider resistors is usually either SMD or the voltage difference much higher than they can handle;
2. Even though the voltage is high, but the duration is small (hence power is small too), and for filtration there's installed RC network, and because of small time and big capacitance (for that time), the multimeter just can't correctly measure the voltage.
If you really want to measure **correctly** the spark voltage, you would need an oscilloscope, and properly built high voltage probe. This is the only way of measuring high voltage spikes. Even the expensive multimeters (such as TrueRMS Fluke ones) can't measure them by design, multimeters are built to measure constant (to some extent) voltage.
And nevertheless, the 1mm/kV rule still valid for eyeballing ;)
👍
without the metal lever your finger certainly notices! 💥⚡💫👈😖😆
Hahaha nice observation,
but my answer is no, I was not getting the shock as current choses the easier path to complete the circuit 😊
But 1-2 time I got the 💥😆 you might have noticed in the video the electric arc once strike my thumb 😅
