1. A piezoelectric generator comprising:

  • a first piezoelectric layer;

    a second piezoelectric layer;

    a guide-tooth; and

    a guide-frame for said first and second piezoelectric layers, wherein said first and second piezoelectric layers are located between said guide-tooth and said guide-frame, said guide-frame is operable to receive said guide-tooth such that at least a portion of said guide-tooth is operable to fit into said guide-frame, said first and second piezoelectric layers are distorted into said guide-frame by said guide-tooth when said guide-frame receives said guide-tooth, wherein said first and second piezoelectric layers do not vertically overlap between said guide-tooth and guide-frame.
