yes. piezoelectric crystals can convert mechanical energy (applying physical force) to electrical energy, and vice versa. however, this is a very tiny amount of electricity.

How can piezoelectric materials generate electricity from human footsteps?

Just place a piezo electric crystal in your shoe then due to alternate change of your feet causes mechanical stress and strain .Inverse piezo electric effect states that when stress and strain is given along mechanical axes it creates electricity along electrical axes.Thus piezo electric crystal converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.


What does piezo-electronic effect mean?

Piezo electric effect says that- "If you applied mechanical vibration on the surface of crystal than the voltage will generate on the another surface and vice versa is also true."it is called piezo electric effect.


Can you convert the kinetic energy of a cricket ball into electricity?

Not particularly well. And there isn't that much energy in it anyhow. But sure, if it hits a piezo-electric crystal, there'll be a short spike of electricity.

Do you have to wind a quartz movement watch?

Many analogue watches nowadays use what's called a piezo-electric crystal to generate the energy required to function. In essence a piezo-electric crystal will generate an electric current when it is deformed, which can be achieved simply by applying a force to it (such as the one generated by the movement of your arm when you're wearing the watch). Recently, Nokia patented the first self-charging mobile phone, which uses the same principles in order to charge itself.

Can anything convert mechanical energy into light energy?

When mechanical pressure is applied to a specially prepared piezo-electric crystal it generates electro-magnetic energy that can be detected in the form of both light and heat. An example: the kind of gas-lighter that you "squeeze" contains a piezo-electric crystal. When you squeeze the handle it puts enough mechanical pressure on the crystal to produce the electricity necessary to produce a spark.
