Inside the amp sensor is a device called a wheatstone bridge,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatstone_bridge
balls link not working, basically it uses the piezzo/resistive properties of silicone devices, a piezzo is a crystal that emits a current relative to the force applied to it, it is this change in force(pressure) that gives the different electrical outputs.
