Something weird going on here. The file was saved by windows as an
application, and then while deleting gave the "you are deleting a program"
error. Get rid of that sucker, someone is playing a fast one.

Doesn't piezo twist or curl when voltage is applied and vice versa? The side to
side flexing of a stylus in the groove on a record produces voltage in the piezo
crystal does it not? I guess it is the 'grinding' of the molecules' layers
producing the electricity.
If what you say is true can we make piezo muscles?
