Humans are dependent on fossil fuel as a source of energy to full fill their day to day's life.

These
fossil fuels are prone to environmental pollution; therefore we need to find out new clean
alternative energy sources. Researchers are finding alternative ways to traditional energy
sources. One of clean source of energy is Piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric materials are a
type of material that can be used as a means of transforming ambient vibrations into electrical
energy that can be stored and used to power other devices. We inserted a piezoelectric disc into a
shock absorber instead of redesigning it. This method is a more suitable option compare to the
total redesign and remodel of the shock absorber. Piezoelectric discs will be inserted into the one
end of shock absorber to capture the compression energy generated by shock absorbers motion.
The Lead Zirconate Titanate is used to generate energy which will travel through wires to charge
the battery of the car. When a car is in motion, tubes inside the shock absorber compress and
expand due to the bumps and vibrations of the road. This motion can produce an electric voltage.
According to the conditions of the road, a piezoelectric shock absorber can produce from 100 to
1600 watts, which can be used to charge the battery of the car. This new shock absorber has the
potential to increase fuel efficiency by 2 - 8% in hybrid vehicles and 1 - 4% in traditional
vehicles.
