Piezoelectric Harvester

A brief project employing emerging materials to solve a world crisis. In this case, pizeoelectric rubber would be used in combating Afghanistan's opium production.
The device collects electricity from routine agricultural tasks (threshing & pounding grain), incentivizing its use in areas where modern farming techniques are impossible. 
A combination of new technologies, old practices and a new generation of diplomacy will help combat one of the most pressing threats to Afghanistan's shaky foundations.
The device can also be used symbolically in destroying the opium crop.
