    This document summarizes a study that tested different piezoelectric devices to determine their ability to convert sound into electricity. The study tested both inexpensive commercially available ceramic piezoelectric devices and more expensive specially manufactured single crystal devices. It found that the commercially available devices produced better voltage outputs. The devices were tested over a range of frequencies and most operated best between 2-3 kHz, with the best coupling found for a commercial 7/16" brass PZT ceramic and a single crystal 15B device to work with a 3 kHz thermoacoustic engine.
