I have a question about piezoelectric chips?

I am making a piezoelectric circuit and my main goal for doing that is to measure the voltage and resistance of it.

I have 4 piezoelectric chips...so my question is that can I put them on top of each other and place a wire at one end and another wire at the other end and then connect it with an ammeter or voltmeter and measure?

Will I get a higher voltage this way?

I still havent got all the tools i need so thats why im askin!

Thanks

    You can try stacking them, but it would be best if you used a product that is already stacked.

    Try checking out these piezo transducers before you do anything:

    You must be joking to expect getting high voltage and high current come out from those small piece of piezo. As you put them in series properly, it produces about a few hundred mV and current a few mA.
