PRISTINE MECHANICAL ENERGY CONVERTERS
Keywords:
Pristine, Piezoelectric Materials, PVDF, Polymers, Power TracksAbstract
This paper deals about the conversion of unused or waste mechanical energy into electrical energy using piezoelectric materials. Some of the unused mechanical energy are human walking, rotational movements of automobile parts in vehicles, pressing force applied in keyboards, etc. These unused mechanical energy are harvested by piezoelectric materials for generating electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is used for various purposes (Automobiles battery charging, Laptop charging, Street lighting etc).
