    I am currently conducting experiments in relation to Piezo Elements, what household items contain these as I'm pretty sure I have stumbled across these in household items many times?
    Thank you in advance.

    The thing for making the spark on a gas cooker hob top.

    Push button cigarette lighters.

    Those children's shoes, that light up when they walk.

    most devices with a microprocessor have timing controlled by a piezo crystal usually in a metal can
