STEM Kit – PiezoPaddle™ Piezo Wheel

Explore the lore of piezo technology! Did this phenomenon power the ancient pyramids? Does ball lightning arise from earthquake-level piezoelectricity? One thing is for sure, with a small paddle wheel and a piezo tab, you can generate and store small amounts of electricity. This is the STEM kit for anyone curious about real-world piezo applications. Follow the project booklet to experience both direct output and energy storage modes of operation.
