There some very unrealistic claims about piezoelectric devices in this article:<p>&gt; Optim Energy ran a successful pilot programme in Thoronka&#x27;s local area, Kuntoluh. Using two devices, the start-up was able to provide power free-of-charge to 150 households, made up of 1,500 people, and 15 schools, with over 9,000 students. The community was incredibly receptive to Thoronka&#x27;s solution and were happy to switch their dirty power supply for a cleaner, more efficient option.
