One of the cantilevers is stiff; the other is an ultra-thin sensor (called a piezo-resistive strain sensor) that measures the spindle's response to forces when the distance between the two cantilevers is reduced to compress the spindle.

These other projects include a Japanese train station whose ticketing gates are embedded with piezo pads and Elizabeth Redmond's PowerLeap, both of which also investigate the potential of piezoelectricity and, in the case of these two, how can be spatialized on an urban scale.
