This invention expands functions possible with electric equipment using charge contorting Piezo technology. We replace engines and motors with Piezo units. These power electric vehicles using nudging by Piezo strips to turn shafts or axles holding propellers or wheels. Ranges of speeds these electric air, land, and sea vehicles can go match that of gas-powered vehicles. The fuel is electrons, which are stored in circuits of rechargeable batteries laminated into their bodies and interior structure. Piezos nudge either radiating spokes or bars on squirrel cage attached to the shaft or axle rotating them at a range of speed in both directions and stopping that rotation. Steerage is achieved with Piezo trim tabs that, when charged, move the control surfaces as rudders in planes and ships, and elevators and ailerons in planes. These tabs with positive power applied change their position in one direction, and with negative power, in the other direction. Releasing gas into a section of a vehicle increases buoyancy. Piezo pumping the gas into a compressed air chamber lowers buoyancy. Using Helium for this in the aircraft allows balloon-type takeoffs and climbs. Ships with air replacing ballast water ride higher in the water. Submarines can control their depth in this same manner. Applying micro-sized Piezo pumps in a wristband, speech sounds defined by patterns of air poofs in matrix and voice pitch defined by poof frequency, gives an alternative to ear hearing for speech reception. Nano scale application of the nudge concept defines sensor output by contorting Piezos to short out power wires indicating light levels of color sensors in tri-color pixels in video cameras. Reversing the process, the Piezo units in a video display contort when signal charge defines color levels contacting power wires which power the emitters. Display brightness control is independent of this signal definition method. This method uses little power for the amount of work provided.

I claim: 1. A method to enable function of an electric or electronic mobile unit for vehicles flying or sailing on or in water that can electronically steer the vehicle by applying a piezo driven trim tab to rudders, ailerons, elevators and other position control surfaces changing the balance of the control surfaces and turning or changing the direction of the vehicle in motion by one or more of the following techniques: a. piezo snap to roll an axle or shaft bearing a means to propel the unit; b. piezo bending to enable steerage; c. piezo action to modify pitch or angle of attack of a component of a unit; d. piezo repeated flexing to pump liquid or air; e. piezo alternating and, as required, holding for the contact for a desired duration, to switch on or off the function of a circuit or circuit component; (f) permanently attaching the Piezo unit trim tab to the edge of the control surface furthest from the anchoring mechanism of the control surface of the vehicle or to the pilot controlled trim tab of the vehicle at its edge furthest from the anchoring or rotating mechanism, (g). wiring the Piezo unit to the electronic control such that when no power is applied, steerage is provided by the wheel or yoke or joystick, pedals, and motion of the yoke toward or away from the pilot, or other steering action; when positive charge is applied the Piezo control tabs moves one direction and when negative charge is applied, it moves the other direction, causing motion one way or the other counter the current position of the control surface, (h). activating the change of Piezo charge from none to positive or negative, or degrees thereof, can be included in the steerage mechanism, be operated via wheels or setting levers, or digitally operated by touchscreen or keyboard. 2. A method, according to claim 1, where a craft or vessel can be steered remotely by radio controls or other means, which adjusts the power of the Piezo trim tabs to steer, climb, and bank the unit. 3. A method, according to claim 2, where airliners and commercial vessels can have remote operating of the unit by safety officers or owners to counter hijackers or handle a unit when the pilot or captain is incapacitated in emergency circumstances.
