Piezo Igniter: A Piezo Igniter is a type of ignition system commonly used in gas appliances and devices. It utilizes the piezoelectric effect, which is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress. The Piezo Igniter consists of a piezoelectric crystal that, when pressed or struck, generates an electric spark to ignite the fuel.
The working principle of a Piezo Igniter involves mechanical force applied to the crystal, which causes it to deform and generate an electric charge. This charge is then discharged through a spark gap, creating a high-voltage spark that ignites the gas. Piezo Igniters are commonly found in gas grills, camping stoves, and other portable gas-powered devices.
