PIEZOELECTRIC GENERATOR

Piezoelectric are the materials that can be used to transform ambient
vibrations into electrical energy. This energy than will be stored and used to
power other devices. With the micro scale devices, piezoelectric power generation
can provide an alternative power sources used to operate certain types of sensors
or actuators. Piezoelectric generator is a device that will generate electrical energy
from the vibration sources. This project will pe using a milistructure of bi-morph
piezoelectric material. This material will be used to transfer the ambient vibration
into electrical energy. The piezoelectric generator is implemented on a
motorcycle, where it will absorb the vibration from motorcycle in order to convert
to electrical energy. Motorcycle always produce vibration when on the road, and
thus can be used to generate electrical energy using piezoelectric. This electrical
energy than will be used to power electrical components such as cellular phones,
or any gadgets that required electrical input power. Based on the piezoelectric
concept, it will convert the vibration energy to electrical energy.
