Piezo Electric Power Generation

Project Description: This project involves constructing a piezoelectric power generation system that converts mechanical stress into electrical energy. The core component of this system is the piezoelectric transducer, which generates an alternating current (AC) when subjected to mechanical pressure or vibrations.

The generated AC voltage is then passed through a rectifier circuit, converting it to direct current (DC). This DC voltage is stored in a capacitor, which can later be used to power small electronic devices or loads.

The project demonstrates the practical application of piezoelectric materials in energy harvesting, particularly in environments where mechanical energy is abundant but traditional power sources are unavailable. This technology is being explored for various applications, such as powering wearable devices, sensors, or even charging small batteries.

Applications:

• Harvesting energy from everyday mechanical actions (e.g., footsteps)
• Powering small electronic devices without traditional batteries
• Demonstrating the principles of piezoelectricity in educational settings
• Exploring alternative and renewable energy sources
