Could we put some of them under the most used roads or on wind mills? (spinning would emit vibrations, the wind too).
I'm pretty sure that even if they dont produce much energy, a LOT of them would produce a lot of energy, vibrations are waves and they can go through a lot of those devices before beign too weak to produce any energy.
Useless as vibration detection? (Score:4, Insightful)
