Piezoelectric effect and liquid-propellant rocket engine: what they have in common

1. Step 1. Piezoelectric effect — is used in — Quartz clock. The quartz resonator vibrates thanks to the piezoelectric effect.
2. Step 2. Quartz clock — is made of — Silica (sand). The resonator is a quartz crystal.
3. Step 3. Silica (sand) — is material for — Space Shuttle. The heat-shield tiles are silica fibre.
4. Step 4. Space Shuttle — has part — Liquid-propellant rocket engine. Hydrogen-fuelled main engines.
