Description
This project explores the feasibility of using piezoelectronics as a supplementary renewable energy source. By utilizing the properties of piezoelectronics, energy can be passively generated from mechanical stress that would otherwise go to waste. Such as the weight and motion of a vehicle. If successful, this approach could contribute to more sustainable energy solutions by capturing and reusing wasted mechanical energy. This method, or similar methods, could be adapted for use in other everyday machines and objects in order to improve battery life and renewable energy.
