PIEZOELECTRICITY AND APPLICATIONS Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials such as crystals and certain ceramics‚ to generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress or heat. If the piezo crystals are not short-circuited‚ the applied charge induces a voltage across the material. The word Piezo is derived from the Greek “Piezein”‚ which means to squeeze or press. The piezo material exhibits both “Direct piezo electric effect” as well as ‘Converse piezo electric

Each grain of sugar is made of a small crystal that is made of an arrangement of molecules called sucrose. In a sugar crystal‚ the sucrose molecules are arranged in a pattern that extends in all three dimensions‚ and all of these molecules are attracted to each other by a type of interaction that binds molecules together called intermolecule forces. When you add granulated sugar to water‚ some of the sucrose molecules start separating from one another because they are attracted to the water molecules

LIQUID CRYSTALS Introduction What are Liquid crystals ? Its History & Discovery Any of various liquids in which molecules are regularly arrayed like a solid crystal along one or two dimensions‚ but are free in the other dimensions as with typical liquids. Liquid crystals often display unusual and often manipulable optical properties such as anisotropic scattering. They can be divided into two classes‚ Thermo tropic(nematic‚ chiral nematic‚ and smectic.) and Lyotropic. Transitions to thermotropic

Piezoelectric crystals are one of many small scale energy sources. Whenever piezoelectric crystals are mechanically deformed or subject to vibration they generate a small voltage‚ commonly know as piezoelectricity. This form of renewable energy is not ideally suited to an industrial situation. The ability of certain crystals to generate Piezoelectricity in response to applied mechanical stress is reversible in that piezoelectric crystals‚ when subjected to an externally applied voltage‚ can change

"I didn’t think it was a big deal‚" says Jose‚ now 17‚ of his first time trying crystal meth. When Jose was 13‚ a girlfriend offered him some‚ saying it would give him a good rush. He figured‚ why not — it would just be a one-time thing. "I’d smoked marijuana before‚ but I didn’t know how to deal with this high‚" says Jose‚ from California

Jett Theology 22 February 2013 The Dark Crystal The Dark Crystal is an allegorical movie that shows the relationship of good and evil in not only the bible but also the current world. In this movie Jen‚ the supposed last of the Gelflings‚ is sent on a quest to repair the dark crystal insuring that Skeksis don’t rule their world forever. Upon his fulfillment of the prophecy the dark and light (good and evil) are united as one being. The Dark Crystal has many components that lead the audience

The description has to give us insight to why the exhibition was important and to modernism. Two Parts: Building itself- dimensions‚ what does it mean when you build with iron and glass (to form an interpretation)‚ no internal supports which creates space to exhibit.
