Piezo elements can be bought in specialized electronic stores. You can try for example: Circuit City or Radio Shack. You can also order them online at Jameco, Digikey or Amazon.
It is the same piezo electric effect, the vibrations caused by the sound waves are converted into corresponding electrical signals.
There are several piezo crystals in the injector in order to achieve the required needle or valve lift. When an electric current is applied piezo crystals, they expand or contract. Since piezo elements are lighter, they respond quicker. This lets the injector valve switch five times more quickly to meter the fuel and control the injection curve more precisely.

The piezo resonant frequency is important in piezoelectric devices because it determines the frequency at which the device can efficiently convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy or vice versa. Operating at or near the resonant frequency allows for maximum energy conversion and optimal performance of the device.
the piezo-eletric property of a crystal is the principle of quartz clock
A piezo pickup is the type of pickup most commonly used in acoustic-electric instruments. This type of pickup is normally placed in or near the bridge of the instrument thus making it a piezo bridge.
A piezo is just a manual, mechanical type of module. In order to work as an ignition the piezo module will need to be wired to an electrode which will spark when the piezo module is pressed or cranked. An ignition system is an assembly of parts and the piezo is like a spark generator for an ignition that does not use batteries or electricity. Pressing or turning the piezo module will send electricity to the electrode which should be mounted where gas emits from the burner so the electrode sparking will ignite gas as the gas leaves the burner.
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.
yes. back in the 15th century when alchemy was popular scientists found out the mineral quartz is piezo electri and so is fused quartz
Piezo crystals are capable of slightly modifying their shape when a current is applied. This phenomenon has been utilized to the point that piezo crystals are often used to generate high-pitched warning sounds. Many devices use piezo's to indicate normal operation or error conditions.
The applications of piezo transducers are Proxmity Sensing, Nondestructive Evaluation, Fluid Flow Movement, Fluid Level Detection, and Solid/Liquid Separation. And sounders.
Any instrument can be made electric simply by installing pickups. 'Hotspot' piezo pickups are roughly 5mm across and stick to anything. They amplify the vibrations of whatever it is attached to or nearby objects. Try putting one on a clarinet bell or under the strings of a cello.
