Technology
Piezoelectric crystals generate electricity when mechanical vibrations occur at various frequencies. However torsional (rotational) vibrations produce no electricity as the left and right sides of the crystal are flexed in opposite directions, creating a net zero voltage.
Our technology describes a modified structure, electrically isolating left and right sides of the crystal so that the generated voltages can be summed rather than cancelled - thereby providing the ability to harvest bending and torsional movement which in turn creates 100x more power than similar devices.
