It is quite

interesting to read your "explanation". You do realize that the peizo electric phenomena also works by an EMI field causing the crystal to vibrate, right? That is the principle of how those crystal oscillators work in digital clocks and radios and cell phone. In those cases, an electrical signal is applied to a precisely sized quartz crystal which will then oscillate at a set frequency and thus stabilize the selected tuning frequency.

The piezo effect works in both directions.
