Updated solarbug episode, with circuit and commentary.

The solarbug demonstrated the photovoltaic effect. The PV cell converts the ultraviolet light in sunlight into electrical energy. The solar motor h...

The piezoelectric effect can be harnessed to give a useful DC (direct current output). When a piezo transducer is flexed it produces a voltage. How...

How can you generate energy from movement or pressure? A simple piezoelectric disk (the kind that you use as a transducer/sounder) can be used in r...
