#3Is it completely crazy to potentially harvest energy from gravity through the force of pressure on crystals sitting in between a mountain generating piezoelectricity and perhaps doing some form of computation or cymatics with it?

Crazy would be not to try.

Yeah it makes even less sense than EmDrive

Why if you could take the time to share your understanding and help enlighten me?

A try I shall do! I’ve had some interesting ideas with it but I feel stupid and or silly reasoning about it. For the sake of experimentation and fun I’ll definitely play around soon.

A constant pressure isn't enough to produce power. You'd need a changing pressure.

At what rate? Is there enough geological movement to induce a change of pressure? What type of gradient/size/rate is needed here?

Thankfully, we already have a source of constantly changing pressure: the Moon! (Well, the Earth's rotation)
Since the Earth rotates around its own axis, you're oscillating closer to and further from the Moon every 24 hours. When you're "facing" the Moon, it's puling you up (from the Earth). When you're away from the moon (on the opposite end of the Earth) it's pulling you down (toward the Earth).
This (along with other factors) causes tides. And tides are already used to generate power.[1] Including using the piezo-electric effect (not sure how with what efficiency, though).
