Quartz- solid composed of molecular units of silicon dioxide. Chemical composition of sand; used as an oscillator?

Electric charges of the molecular unit line up to create a net electric field along the length of the solid when. Is squeezed in direction (piezoelectric).
Piezo. Press. Squeeze.
Pendulum- a string, fixed at one end w/ a mass, termed the “bow” attached to the other end.
Conservation of energy: “kinetic”- energy is motion aka connected & “potential” energy (energy associated w/o a force acting on an object, aka intention, & the distance over which that force can cause motion/movement/change.
More like exchange rather than conserve. Left brain, right brain. Interchangeable functions. Gas & break. You get it.
CONSTANT CONVERSIONS
A quartz crystal oscillates. It generates a voltage at the same natural frequency that can be used to maintain the crystal’s vibrations.

Timing is very important for technology; CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the metronome/pendulum/conductor (music).
For example, in order to play music or listen to a podcast on a ‘smartphone’ it must confer numerical code into sound waves which are changes in DENSITY (hence) pressure of the air. Literally, it has to enter into another field of existence to express/present itself.
How does one convert electric voltage into mechanical vibrations of the membrane so we can hear sound waves?

MAGNETS.
All of this relates to the tweet I shared referencing magneto & the crystalline body. More soon.

Good general book reference: “The Physics of Everyday Things” by James Kakalios
