SUMMARY
Piezo crystals can generate electrical current when subjected to mechanical stress, such as being hit or exposed to sound. The generated current is typically very small and requires amplification for detection. By working with voltage, the minute electrical signals from piezo crystals can be amplified and subsequently converted into usable current.
