Can a military installation create clean energy for itself? Although this is a great question, the reality is that with huge power demands, the piezoelectric systems that would be installed would only provide a small percentage of power to the base and not 100% of the power requirements. But if these energy harvesting systems could provide 27-42% of the base's power then these systems would be a tremendous success. And by integrating this system into a base design could serve as a prototypical model for civilian communities and cities.
