I am curious if it would be possible to put a quartz crystal at the bottom of strong cylinder vial with half the crystal hanging out the bottom (but sealed) and have mercury on top of it and then pressurized if it would create a constant vortex? If the mechanical force of the pressure from the mercury causes a piezoelectric effect on the crystal, would it rotate the mercury and continue to create electricity from the crystal? I am not sure voltage/current outputs of the crystal or requirements for the mercury vortex so just use best case scenario.
I don't think this would be considered constant pressure if the mercury was constantly moving. I'm sure it would create fluctuations in the pressure so in theory I think it would continue to create electricity. The mercury might need to be jump started with an emf of some sort, but I'm curious what other's thoughts are on this. Thanks
