Energy Harvesting with Piezoelectric Transducers

UC Berkeley ME103: Experimentations and Measurements

Piezoelectric materials are promising for energy harvesting applications, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy with potential use in wearable and structural systems. This study investigates the feasibility of energy harvesting from piezoelectric transducers under mechanical stress and evaluates the correlation between applied load and power output. We employed an array of piezoelectric pressure sensors, each connected to a rectifier circuit and monitored via an ESP32 microcontroller. Read our scientific report here!
