Problem with QRTZ

    So although QRTZ conducts while under pressure, why does it create pressure while it is conducting?

    all conductors do this. it's not a problem as it generates like 0.2% of pressure.

    QRTZ should actually generate SPRK when under pressure. It is a piezo-electric crystal which means it creates a voltage from pressure. It isn't a piezo-conductive material (if there is such a thing), which would mean it would conduct under pressure.

    Lol.
    QRTZ, conducts. WTF??? Why no-one told me about this. *jenn4 is about to go insane(r)!*

    Pretty sure QRTZ says it conducts in its element description. It conducts from direct touch with metal under -100 C, and conducts above about 7~ ish pressure.

    But yeah, since you need a high-pressure environment to get it to spark in the first place in this condition, we didn't put much thought into making a failsafe for spark looping. :P
