FOOTSTEP POWER GENERATION USING PIEZOELECTRIC

Piezoelectricity is the charge created across certain materials when a mechanical stress
is applied.

- It’s a type of renewable energy that can be utilized to collect power


- Due to the rise in expense in delivering power, this mechanism can be utilized by
the general public who cannot afford or get power
- These mechanisms create voltage by the utilization of power on them which can
be used to charge BATTERY, thus can be effortlessly used to create power.

The hardware/s used in the mechanism I reviewed are:

Advantages and disadvantages


One of the main advantages of piezoelectric pressure sensors is their ruggedness. This
makes them suitable for use in a variety of harsh environments.

Apart from the associated electronics, piezoelectric sensors can be used at high
temperatures. Some materials will work at up to 1,000ºC. The sensitivity may change
with temperature but this can be minimised by appropriate choice of materials.

The output signal is generated by the piezoelectric element itself, so they are inherently
low-power devices.

The sensing element itself is insensitive to electromagnetic interference and radiation.


The charge amplifier and other electronics need to be carefully designed and positioned
as close as possible to the sensor to reduce noise and other signal errors.

Piezoelectric sensors can be easily made using inexpensive materials (for example
quartz or tourmaline), so they can provide a low cost solution for industrial pressure
measurement.
