Steve,
The electrical model of a piezoelectric generator is a voltage source in
series with a capacitor. This means you can't get DC out of such a
generator, but you can get high voltage bursts by hammering a crystal as in
a charcoal grill igniter. The snap you hear is in part a hammer

Yes, but barely adequate to run the Genetech s/w with two displays of

It is NFS (Not For Sale). It is just a prototype device. It does not do any

Hi,

That's how many electrostatic machines work such as the Wimshurst.
There are 3 different things, voltage, field strength and charge imbalance,
in this case the Voltage goes up, however the field strength goes down
In a 2 plate capacitor when together the field strength is concentrated more
on the inside of the 2 plates, while there is the same net field once
separated now it is spread out, and the field of the opposite plate isn't in
range so actually it is a lot weaker.
