When you put a mechanical stress on a crystal it emits an electrical pulse. (That's how the diamond stylus on a record pickup works.) Electromagnetic radiations also effect and alter the electrical properties of crystals, causes them to pulse. (That's how the old Crystal-sets worked.) Crystals transpose electricity into radiation, radiation into electricity, and physical movement (phonon) into either. When the wind bends the boughs of the boa.tree, it pulses. The boa.tree is a vast computer. |
