NASA | Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Transducers

This research project was funded in 2010 by the Innovative Partnerships Program at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.

3 years ago, I did the same experiment with very interesting results. I used half-wave rectifier circuit to convert the energy from AC to DC, and it lights up the LED pretty brightly! All of these components were taken from the electronic waste. The project is capable of powering low-power devices such as sensors.

[@AndyEsVa]

Hey, this sounds interesting, you think we could chat for a bit?

[@BANYAKCARA31]

Can i get your contact to asking about this project?

[@visionofwellboyofficial]

Circuit is just simple, use germanium diode (rectenna). Rectenna converts RF energy into DC

[@alangolab6657]

igot intresting info i check many devices i need some of u info i may share too

[@visionofwellboyofficial]

Or you can just use 1n60 crystal diodes (low drop) in series or full bridge to harvest energy from even weaker RF signals

[@kelleyhaile4926]

I'm here to verify my own ideas thank you.

NASA keep in touch so we produced battery powered by human temperature and Peltier effectively used for charging battery

Long trail backpackers need a way to generate about 12 watts of electricity per day to keep their cell phones and headlamps running. Many carry almost 1/2 KG batteries to make this happen and recharge whenever they are in towns. What they need is a lightweight way to get their "juice" while hiking. A pair of insoles in their hiking shoes might be able to generate that electricity and reduce their load of gear. What do you think?

[@luminousfractal420]

that hit the market about 10years ago. theres even a nightclub that powers the music system using piezo floor panels. we should be embedding crystals in roadways etc and everywhere with movement involved. it would lower the energy need considerably.

[@rosedicherose3415]

I did the same experiment and able to generate around 8 to 12 volt. But the current is only within the micro amps. I hope to be able to try some new and better performance piezo material.

[@mykulpierce]

I believe they will be important to the field of electrostatics. We need to bring research back to it since it was relagated to class room demonstrations.

[@drspray100]

Try the mutilayer ,you will be satisied!

[@roushanraj2128]

What steps did you take? Kindly explain

[@jaekib]

Great area of research. Keep up the good work and upscale it please. For example, large units in highway offramps to assist vehicles in slowing by extracting energy would be one way to add to the powergrid. H

[@yunusemreozdemir1342]

Add to the powergrid? I laughed it! They are for generating really less power and used generally in lightning, sensors, actuators and so on. You can search on it.

[@rcarver4049]

A little misleading. Much like electromagnetic waves, a higher frequency vibration inherently contains more energy, therefore more energy is transferred to the device.

[@MaryGarcia-oz4lr]

the earth vibrates..... earth to quartz to dual capacitor that makes an arc flash that ionizes the air and tricks the trapped sun rays in the ionosphere into more piezoelectric on the 2nd coil with conductive top...

[@jaekib]

Ah, magic;)

[@anshulmanu]

Please share the details of the shaker used along with the piezo patch

[@TechTed1]

It seems nice

[@64etto]

Di recente ho fatto domanda al istituti di ricerca perchè non utilizzare i cristalli piezoelettrici o piezomeccanici per regolare con una piccola tensione le diottrie le messa a fuoco e la struttura di prismi ottici, visto che per regolare la collimazione o messa a fuoco della lente di plastica del laser del lettore cd rom, cd audio, dvd, utilizza un solenoide "quanta energia risparmia un cristallo piezoelettrico da un solenoide"?

[@anilsharma-ev2my]

NASA if we produced such devices which use centrifugal energy for charging our cellphone then it becomes a boon We can use our mussel power 🔋 for charging many gadgets

[@luminousfractal420]

nasa awarded a fisherman 50,000 for his bioluminescent battery as part of their inovations awards (essentially an AA battery made with a coil of bioluminescent material and solar type films.) he got the idea watching the ocean glow while wishing for a better power source for his net lights. that was decades ago. nasa as part of the award kept the rights to the tech and we never saw it reach the markets. there has also been several ultra high efficiency solar panels created like the chinese guy who grew crystaline trees in a film that captured >99% of light frequencies. the tech is out there but were still slaves to the fossil fuel industry. dont expect nasa to help us save the planet :[

[@tank2543]

After almost 7 yrs of time how is everything? Did this accomplish the desired task? What uses are these used for at Nasa? Was this a net loss or net gain? Are these commercially available? Can I get a sample? Can I buy a sample? Have you improved these? Can you do an update video?

[@nancybabbage1169]

Isitpossible ??? most likely consciously suppressed in commercial market as this has been available a long time

[@TechTed1]

can u produce 100w from a 1mm x 1mm piezzo

[@divinejustice536]

👍

[@redneckhippiefreak]

I am now questioning everything I ever imagined about NASA...This is about as scientific as a game of Rolette. How can a supposed Scientist overlook the factor of Mass in these equations and results? Of Corse its gonna make more energy as it Now TAKES more energy to generate the needed force.. I seriously hope the rest of NASA isnt feeling there way through science like this.

[@williamdeely7836]

The energy harvester would use ambient vibrations such as from sound or from stuff like vibrations from a motor or friction- the energy is already there we just need to harvest it

[@redneckhippiefreak]

@@williamdeely7836 -well Yeah but that isn't helping these two dolts complete their study..

[@romansobczyk6073]

Przy dobrym projekcie da się z objętości 1m3 i częstości 100hz wyciągnąć 160kW/s i 7MV/s.😉

[@billjohnson3366]

anyome notice we they compared the two the vibrator was way louder wen running "there" pizo device lol ya i can get 100 times more power from pizo if i vibrate it with 100 times the force lol

[@billjohnson3366]

4 time efficency but 100 time more power to input ratio..... ummm arnt those both the same thing??, hiw is one 4 times and other 100 times lol

[@escuelacerogrados]

Still too expensive for commercial application...

[@jefferylubinski528]

Piezoelectric transnduction

[@selfhealing1047]

This is the most non-sense video about piezos ever! I wonder if these 2 guys are really from NASA

[@redneckhippiefreak]

Yeah, My thoughts exactly.. If these are the Smart folks, We are FUCKED.

[@iantheorem]

Who would trust liars at NASA?! looool
