Piezoelectric materials can produce electrical output from a flapping motion. Piezoelectric devices convert mechanical energy into electrical energy when they are deformed or subjected to stress, making them suitable for capturing energy from vibrations, flapping, or bending movements.

The output of all electric motors is rotational motion. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy by generating a rotating magnetic field that causes the motor shaft to rotate.
The input motion of a can opener is the user turning the handle to rotate the cutting wheel. The output motion is the cutting wheel piercing through the can lid to open the can.
A bird flying in the sky demonstrates translational motion as it moves in a straight line through the air. Additionally, the wing flapping creates rotational motion as the bird turns and changes direction in flight.
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (motion).
An electrical motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion.
