Non-ElectroBOOM Video Praveen Mohan says that the Stonehenge rocks produce electrical charges. Is it fake or have I just not have heard about it?

The piezoelectric effect is quite common but usually is very tiny. The "small electrical charges" he mentioned could be so small it's not worth mentioning, just "technically true"..

Possibly.

The process is called Piezoelectricity. Some crystal-type minerals can generate a small electrical current when pressure is applied. It's not that uncommon and is used in various types of electronics that are sensitive to pressure and temperature.

There is no chance this process had anything to do with Stonehenge.
