Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Floor Mat

Dubbed crowd farming the idea was to install a flooring system that would take advantage of piezoelectric principles by harvesting power from footsteps in crowded places such as train stations malls concerts and anywhere where large groups of people move.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting floor mat. Piezoelectricity uses direct piezoelectric effect. The basis of my senior capstone design project is an energy harvesting floor mat that uses piezoelectric materials to harvest electrical energy from pedestrians walking over it. Not many researches have been carried out till now in this eld hence it is a.

The energy harvesting via. Piezoelectric energy harvesting floor as a sustainable clean en ergy is generating a usable electricity depending on people footsteps pressure this valuable energy is wasted in sp ite of its. Currently we have developed a small scale prototype to test design specifications as well as determine the design which would produce an optimal output.

The energy generated when some load is applied on the mat containing piezoelectric transducers depend not only on the number of transducers area of mat thickness of the transducers but also on. Tiles and carpetsa series of crystals can be laid below the floor mats tiles and carpets which are frequently uses atpublic places. Piezoelectric energy harvesting piezoelectric energy harvesting comes under the category of micro scale energy harvestingscheme.

Numerically and tentatively examines the ideal load. Floor mats tiles and carpets a series of crystals can be laid below the oor mats tiles and carpets which are frequently used at public places. Suggested energy harvesting using piezoelectric shoes which are made from the piezoelectric composite material using the unimorph strip they discovered utilizing wasted energy using flexible piezoelectric materials and simple mechanic structures and also used for designing comfortable piezoelectric shoes wang et al.
