Force On Tiles Bridge Between Mechanical and Electrical Energy

The document discusses using piezoelectric materials and the piezoelectric effect to harvest energy from walking and convert it into electricity. Piezoelectric materials like quartz generate small voltages when pressure changes their shape by moving electrons. Engineers could harness this effect by integrating piezoelectric tiles into bridges to convert the mechanical energy from foot traffic into electrical energy as an alternative solution for the energy crisis with less environmental impact than traditional electricity generation.

FORCE ON TILES BRIDGE BETWEEN

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY


ABSTRACT:
It has become clear that engineers must find alternative solution for
the energy crisis. One promising alternative utilizes technology whose
current applications an lights. This technology is known as piezoelectric
effect in which pressure can generate electricity.. Crystalline materials
produce small amount of electricity when a force is applied that changes
their shape in some way. These are called piezoelectric materials. Quartz
is an example of piezoelectric substance. When small amounts of pressure
are applied to a quartz crystal, a small voltage is produce from changing
the charge created by the moving electron. The piezoelectric effect can be
used to harvest the energy used in walking to help reduce the impact of
electricity generation on the environment. The piezoelectric effect
identifies most closely with the conference topic area of energy.
