| Summary: | Our project is about to develop the Mini Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Prototype. This piezoelectric technology prototype is to be used to generate voltage for traffic light or street lights alongside main roads or streets of big cities. The piezoelectric sensor is the main component of this prototype. Its working principle is when stress is placed on the piezoelectric sensor, energy will be harvested and stored, then, it will be capable of powering the street lights or traffic lights. We are actually making a small scale prototype for learning purposes. Hopefully, in the future, this piezoelectric technology could be developed and implemented when it could be placed under the roads, as transports such as vehicles moving on that road, they'll give stress to the piezoelectric. Then, energy as voltage will be generated to recharge a backup battery for the use of the traffic lights or street lights. This project is purely relevant when it is to be used on roads that have a high rate of vehicles moving on the road. The power will always be continuously generated, as long as there are vehicles moving through or on the road. This project is contributing to the rise of clean and Green Energy Technology. We think that it is very beneficial and yet possible to apply this technology in this country as we are moving towards Green Technology. |
