1. A piezoelectric device, comprising:

  • a piezoelectric element having a number of dipoles, wherein the dipoles are arranged such that, in an unactuated state of the piezoelectric element, a zero dipole moment is formed by the dipoles of the piezoelectric element and, in an actuated state of the piezoelectric element caused by a force, a net dipole moment is formed by the dipoles of the piezoelectric element; and

    a pair of electrodes located about the piezoelectric element to conduct a current created by the net dipole moment formed by the dipoles of the piezoelectric element.
