Abstract
In this study, we focused on lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a power generating piezoelectric element. Niobium was added to each of the PZT elements to improve their power generation characteristics. The purpose of the study was to develop a high-efficiency PZT generator element that utilizes the vibration loads in the support members of a structure. We have previously reported the power generation characteristics of laminated PZT elements under vibration loads. Effect of vibration load, vibration frequency and number of PZT layers on generation characteristics of PZT elements was evaluated in the vibration test. We evaluate the power generation of laminated PZT elements and present the results of an experiment using a switching circuit as a load circuit in order to confirm the suitability of the laminated PZT element as a power source.
