This invention expands functions possible with electric equipment using charge contorting Piezo technology. We replace engines and motors with Piezo units. These power electric vehicles using nudging by Piezo strips to turn shafts or axles holding propellers or wheels. Ranges of speeds these electric air, land, and sea vehicles can go match that of gas-powered vehicles. The fuel is electrons, which are stored in circuits of rechargeable batteries laminated into their bodies and interior structure. Piezos nudge either radiating spokes or bars on squirrel cage attached to the shaft or axle rotating them at a range of speed in both directions and stopping that rotation. Steerage is achieved with Piezo trim tabs that, when charged, move the control surfaces as rudders in planes and ships, and elevators and ailerons in planes. These tabs with positive power applied change their position in one direction, and with negative power, in the other direction. Releasing gas into a section of a vehicle increases buoyancy. Piezo pumping the gas into a compressed air chamber lowers buoyancy. Using Helium for this in the aircraft allows balloon-type takeoffs and climbs. Ships with air replacing ballast water ride higher in the water. Submarines can control their depth in this same manner. Applying micro-sized Piezo pumps in a wristband, speech sounds defined by patterns of air poofs in matrix and voice pitch defined by poof frequency, gives an alternative to ear hearing for speech reception. Nano scale application of the nudge concept defines sensor output by contorting Piezos to short out power wires indicating light levels of color sensors in tri-color pixels in video cameras. Reversing the process, the Piezo units in a video display contort when signal charge defines color levels contacting power wires which power the emitters. Display brightness control is independent of this signal definition method. This method uses little power for the amount of work provided.
