Abstract

The piezoelectric effect enables the conversion of mechanical energy, resulting from the contact between a vehicle's wheel and the road, into electrical energy. Piezoelectricity refers to the accumulation of electric charge in specific solid materials, such as ceramics, human bone, and DNA, in response to mechanical stress. The objective of this project is to enhance electricity generation in an environmentally friendly manner. By utilizing technological advancements, it becomes possible to convert wasted vibrational mechanical energy from the vehicle's tire into electrical energy, leading to both cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. To achieve this, piezoelectric patches are strategically positioned within the wheel rim. When these patches come into contact with the road and are subjected to the weight of the vehicle, electricity is generated. In our project, we will employ polyurethane foam to safeguard the piezoelectric patches, which will be situated inside the bicycle's tire. This setup aims to generate sufficient energy to charge a battery. Consequently, the electrical energy stored in the wheels will be transformed into light energy through the utilization of the piezoelectric patches.
