It's nice to start being a member of this group. I'd like to introduce myself, I am best07 and
I am looking for some info on piezo elements that could be the best ones to generate some current. I've tried some from Radio Shack buzzers but they are not giving me enough juice or even enough voltage to turn on LEDs.

I love piezo theory, and have some ideas on its application. However, I have done little with anything hands on. I did find some cool projects that may give you some more insight. Good Luck, and welcome to the community.

Thanks a lot!
I am not very knowledgeable in the subject but it is certainly something very interesting! I will check out the links you shared with me!
Thanks again!
