Electrical power generation using piezoelectric ceramic tile prototype design.
The piezoelectric effect is the key the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical charge in response to applied mechanical stress otherwise known as pressure is the key to the success of kinetic tiles.
The piezoelectric process is also reversible so if you apply an electric current to these materials they will actually change shape slightly.
