Energy Carpet - Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Transducers

Abstract

Energy gathering has received increasing responsiveness over the previous a small number of period. Ambient vibration-based energy gathering exhausting piezoelectric transducers has been of immense importance for analysts for small power wireless or self-sustaining applications. The last word goal during this analysis field is to power small electronic devices by using the vibrational energy available in the environment. A piezoelectric grid forms the base of the system which converts foot falls into pulsating AC and which is then fed to a bridge rectifier which converts AC to DC. The output from the bridge rectifier is then passed to a capacitor filter and then to a regulator and then to a charging module for storage and charging purposes. If this can be achieved, the need for an external power source can be minimized.
