Previous attempts to use cardiac muscle power to run pacemakers relied on piezoelectric materials.

之前使用心脏肌肉量运行搏器尝试是依赖于压材料。

And we thought, OK, let's combine it with a piezoelectric material.

我们想，好吧，让我们将它与压材料结合。

Piezoelectric quartz crystals in the sonar's transmitter vibrated when they were subjected to alternating voltage.

声纳发射器中压石英晶体在受到交流压时会振动。

Let's look at quartz, a piezoelectric material made of silicon and oxygen.

让我们看看石英，一种由硅和氧制成压材料。

Piezoelectric materials can have different structures.

压材料可以有不同结构。

Piezoelectric materials turn mechanical stress, like pressure, sound waves, and other vibrations into electricity and vice versa.

压材料将压力、声波和其他振动等机械应力转化为，之亦然。

Dr Zhang and Dr Yang speculated that they could improve matters by arranging for their piezoelectric composites to be more dramatically deformed.

张浩和杨斌推测，他们可以通过让压复合材料更加变形方法改善这个问题。

More materials are piezoelectric than you might think.

压材料比您想象要多。

And the stronger the compression on piezoelectric materials, the larger the voltage generated.

并且对压材料压缩越强，产生压就越大。

Transducers are made from arrays of tiny piezoelectric structures that convert electrical signals into ultrasound waves by vibrating at an appropriate frequency.

压式换器是由具有‘压'效应一系列敏感元件机构组成。敏感元件机构通过‘定频'震荡将信号转换成超声波。

And piezoelectric devices may become even more common since electricity is in high demand and mechanical energy is abundant.

由于力需求量大且机械丰富，压设备可会变得更加普遍。

And on the outer shell we have the piezoelectric material, the material that when the inside gets bigger, the outside produces the electricity.

在外壳上我们有压材料，当内部变大时，外部就会产生力。

Scientists have created a variety of synthetic piezoelectric materials and found applications for them in everything from medical imaging to ink jet printers.

科学家们创造了多种合成压材料，并在从医学成像到喷墨打印机各个方面找到了它们应用。

These generate power and send it to a control board that operates a pair of piezoelectric actuators – clever materials that work a bit like a muscle and contract when a voltage passes across them.

它们产生并将其发送到控制板，该控制板操作一对压致动器 - 聪明材料有点像肌肉，当压通过它们时会收缩。

First we fill them up with the piezoelectric material, which is represented in yellow in the bottom figure, and then we fill it up with the stimuli-responsive material that is the light blue in the bottom figure.

首先我们用压材料填充它们，在下图中用黄色表示，然后用刺激响应材料填充它们，在下图中用浅蓝色表示。
