I find these alternate energy threads fascinating,
especially due to the latest ransom we've been expected
to pay at the pumps!!!

Someone mentioned generating a watt of power from stressing
a crystal.  Can someone offer a practical procedure where
one could start experimentation with this.

Just think of a flashlight where one could hammer on it to
make it work.  This is what we do anyway when the bulb goes,
but with white leds, not a problem anymore.

Technological advancement; got to love it!
