1. Piezoelectric Effect: Ke hoʻokau ʻia i nā mana o waho, hōʻiliʻili nā kristal quartz i ka uku uila, kahi mea i ʻike ʻia ʻo ka hopena piezoelectric. Hāʻawi kēia waiwai i nā kristal quartz e hoʻololi i ka ikehu mechanical i ka ikehu uila, a laila e hiki ai i ka hoʻouna ʻana a me ka hana ʻana.
2. Paʻa pinepine: ʻO ke alapine oscillation o nā kristal quartz he paʻa loa a hoʻopilikia iki ʻia e nā mea kaiapuni e like me ka mahana a me ke kaomi. ʻO kēia ka mea e hana ai nā kristal quartz i mea kūpono no ka hana ʻana i nā oscillators kiʻekiʻe, e hāʻawi ana i nā hōʻailona uaki paʻa no nā ʻano mea uila.
