Introduction
Piezoelectricity, is discovered by curie brothers in 1880, originated from
greek word. “Piezenin” meaning to press.
The original meaning of the “piezoelectricity” implies “pressure
electricity” – the generation of the electric field applied pressure. this
definition ignore the fact of the process is reversible, thus allowing the
generation mechanical motion by applying a field. Piezo electricity is a
observed if a stress applied to a solid, for example, by bending squizzing
or twisting it.
The piezo electric effect is special material property that exits many
single crystaline material. Such as crystalline structure as quartz,
Rochelle salt, topaz, cane sugar, berlinite, bone, tendon, dentin, barium
titanate, lead titanate, lithium niobate. Etc.
Direct piezo electric effect:- production of electricity when stress is
applied.
Converse piezoelectric effect:- the production of a stress and strain
when electric field is applied.
Simple molecular model:-
Before subjecting the to some external stress :
The centre of the negative and positive charge of
each molecule conside.
The external effect of the charge are reciprocally
concered.
As a result electricity neutral molecule appears.
Simple molecular model:-
After exerting some pressure on material :
The internal structure is deformed.
That causes of separation of the positive and
negative centere of the molecule.
As the result, little depoles are generated.
Simple molecular model:-
Eventually:-
The facing of pole inside the material are
mutually canceled.
A distribution of a linked charge appears in
a material’s surface and the material is
polarized.
The polarization is generates in a electric
field and can be used to transform
mechanical energy of material deformation
into electrical energy.
Energy harvesting :-
Energy harvesting describe as changing parasitic energy mechanical energy, for
instant of vibration structure, into electrical energy. this energy is used to other
purpose for example driving an electrical structure. Circuit of a large capacitor.
Energy harvesting is a process by which energy is derived for external source to
utilize to drive machine directly .or energy is captured and stored for future use.
Piezo electric energy harvesting:-
Piezoelectric energy harvesting comes under the category of micro scale energy
harvesting scheme.
The energy harvesting via. Piezoelectric use direct piezo electricity effect the
phenomenon effect will be clear from diagram shown below.
Source of vibration for crystal:-
Power generating boots or shoes:-
An idea being research DARPA in us. In project
called energy harvesting, in which include
attempt to power battlefield equipment generator
embedded in soldier’s boot. however this energy
harvesting association impact on the body.
DARPA’s effort to harness 1-2 watt. For
continues shoe impact walking were abandoned
due to discomfort from additional energy
expanded by wearing a shoes.
Sources of vibration for crystal:-
Gyms and workplaces :-
Research are also working of
idea of utilizing vibration caused
from machine in the gym. At
workplace while seating on
chair, energy can be stored in
betteries by also the studies are
being carried out utilize the
vibration in vehicle. Gears,
footstep, footrest.
Mobile keypads and keyboard :-
the piezoelectric crystal can be laid down under the unit and
keyboard. For the press every keys. the vibration can be created
piezo electric crystal and hence can be used for charging purpose.
Floor mats tiles and carpet:-
A series of crystal laid below floor mats tiles. Carpets which
frequently use at public place.
