This material is a ten-layer laminate, which generates electricity under pressure, vibration, and deformation. A piezoelectric crystal was pressed in between two aluminum-made plates. By deformation, pressure, and vibration the aluminum panels conduct the generated electricity outward. From there, the electricity can be used effectively. either by users such as LEDS or sensors.
