The crystal's voltage can generate a nice spark that lights the gas in the grill. Then you'll show someone how you can smack two pieces of quartz together and make light (some native americans made these cool glowing maraca type things with quartz shards in them). A voltage this high is identical to the voltage that drives a spark plug in a gasoline engine. Beware, you'll start talking about you much you love quartz, then everyone will instantly assume something else. Engraved on One Side: 'Christmas 77' Engraved on The Other Side: 'Forever' Engraved on the Bottom of the Lighter: 'Flamex Q-Pipe Japan The lighter is 2' by 1 1/4' by 1/2' The Outside of the Lighter is. This property allows opportunities for implementing renewable and sustainable energy through power harvesting and self-sustained smart sensing in buildings. Piezoelectric materials are capable of transforming mechanical strain and vibration energy into electrical energy. The Lighter has God Skroll Work on Black Enamel. The piezoelectric effect is extensively encountered in nature and many synthetic materials. For example, in a BBQ lighter, the popping noise you hear is a little spring-loaded hammer hitting a crystal and generating thousands of volts across the faces of the crystal. Vintage Flamex Quartz Piezo Electronic Pipe Lighter In Original Box, Made in Japan. I dont actually understand the science of piezo electricity, but is there something that can wear out or run out in the lighter assembly You can buy. When you apply pressure to them, you get a charge separation within the crystal and a voltage across the crystal that is sometimes extremely high. Quartz crystals used in most digital clocks and timers as the time baseĬertain crystalline materials (like quartz, Rochelle salt and certain ceramics) have piezoelectric behavior.Sound-generating arrays for sonar, fish finders and ultrasound devices.Piezoelectric tweeters in stereo speakers.Piezoelectric beepers (common in digital watches and anything electronic that goes "beep").The push-button igniter in a gas BBQ grill or fireplace.
