PIEZOELECTRIC CAR

The process of acquiring the energy surrounding a system and converting it into usable electrical energy is termed power harvesting. Piezoelectric materials have been used in various forms for energy harvesting using vibration, repetitive strikes and bending of structures. This paper review about the power generation using piezoelectric pulse generator and discuss the use of piezoelectric material with in a commercial vehicles pneumatic tire to harvest power that can be used to run onboard devices or to recharge the electric vehicle with the matlab/simulink simulation results . Power harvesting in two types of vehicle tires are explored in bike and car, with each having a different normal forces acting on the contact area of tire due to the vehicle weight acting on it.
