Thank you for the information but I did only consider the topic briefly . You are correct it would not produce a constant flow of electricity but as you said there would be an initial charge created , effectively it would be a gravitaional method but as you explained not efficient enough . Perhaps we could add some tidal energy and create motion with a device that was a constant or even a wind method .This is false. Piezoelectric crystals produce a voltage but not a continuous flow of current.
You will produce an initial voltage across the crystal but once that is discharged no more energy can be extracted. A simple consideration of energy shows this. As the rock settles a bit, while it compresses the crystal, it loses gravitational potential energy, converting that into electrical potential energy in the crystal. When you discharge that, the rock does not move any more, so it loses no more energy. Since energy is conserved, and not magically made out of nothing, the fact it loses no more energy means that nothing else can gain any more energy.
There must be a way to engineer the concept .
