Piezoelectric Tiles: Research Project

The aim of the current generation must be to provide the global community a sustainable environment and a future without power cuts. Abiding by the adage above, I from St.Columba’s School present to you an innovation which will harness the waste mechanical stress generated around us and hence produce electrical energy.
The concept of piezoelectricity derives its essence from the Greek work ‘Piezo’ .i.e. ‘to press’. Hence, piezoelectricity directly refers to the electricity generated from applied stress and pressure. Some examples of piezoelectric materials are Lead Titanate, Quartz and Topaz.
In a solid particle charges are arranged in a random manner, such that the net electric dipole moment is zero. However, on application of stress, the positive and negative particles get accumulated at the opposite ends of particle leading to the formation of a potential difference between the two charged surfaces.
Our tile comprises of a series- parallel connection of piezoelectric transducers connected to the electrical appliance via a rectifier. The series-parallel combination not only reduces the net resistance offered by the circuit but also provides an equally good voltage and current ratio. Whereas, the rectifier stabilises the alternating current to direct current; this can be further used by the appliance. Two wooden planks cover the circuit from the bottom and top with the help of cork stacks which concentrate the maximum pressure by the footstep on the piezoelectric tile.
With the dependency of the Indian Subcontinent on thermal energy for 66% of its electricity consumption, the steady decline in the non-renewable sources of energy is evident. The human populace is stranded to ponder over the clichéd renewable sources of energy; however, reliance on weather conditions, toxic emissions and an inefficient output has led to the downfall of these renewable sources of energy such as Solar Power, Wind Power, Biomass and Hydro energy.
The solution to the extravagant problem of power shortage is “THE PIEZOELECTRIC TILE”, which not only increases the electricity production but also provides one with an instant personalised power generating source. With an efficiency of 70%, the piezoelectric tile is independent of the weather forecast for that day. Unlike the air, water and land pollution caused by solar, hydro and biomass generation respectively, piezoelectric tile does not lead to any kind of pollution neither does it cause any harm to the surroundings. With all its apparatus lying under the ground, the piezoelectric tile instead of removing people from an area, asks more populace to join in. Like the benefits provided to the environment weren’t enough, the tile also improves the bio-electric functions of the body and normalises the electrical nature of the red blood cells, henceforth improving circulation in the body. Hence piezoelectricity can be used as a competent source of energy without fettering our environment or our health.

The technology in our world is ridiculously incredible! Keep up that great work people!!!!!!!!! I LOVE SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kalyanideshmukh527]

Thank you so much! I’ve been searching about every single thing that’s been shown in the video since the past 5 days. Now that I’ve finally got it, I’m more than satisfied. Good work.👍🏻👍🏻

[@kynitakixa9282]

Thank you so much. We are doing a project on piezoelectricity. This video helped a lot. This deserves more views and likes....

[@Hmmmst]

I think this could be used for security also. Especially in malls, or other public establishments, you won't need cameras to know if someone is in the mall after hours, or to catch someone who's running. Just record their average energy production from their weight and speed to track a criminal. Or, you could also record which area produces the most energy, and use that information to keep the most busy stores spread evenly throughout the mall in order to make processes more efficient, and to avoid massive crowds in one area, while on the other side of the mall it's almost vacant. I like your ideas of energy production, as it has many other possibilities too.

Hey Tushar, I loved your project and I saw the video because I am doing something similar for my project which I am presenting in a science conference. We tried making our version of the circuit but its output is extremely low. So, I was wondering if you could help me in my project by sharing your work and design for the circuit and how did you make the entire working system. Thanks a lot

[@amanzholdaribay8982]

it's amazing! I take my hat off!

[@cliverudd]

Is this really possible? connecting them in series and parallel? piezo is a transducer, if you connect it in serie the material in the piezo is deformed by the voltage of the other ones. please help me understand.

[@anushkanayak2429]

amazing work :)

[@ಕೇಸರಿಪಡೆ-ಖ5ಟ]

I just wanted to know why do we need to convert AC into DC because most of the home appliances need AC or if it because of its low quantity(current) , if so when produced in higher quantity would there be no need of rectification?

[@kartechindustries3069]

Reality is voltage is not greater then 5v we have prepared and presented the video to kpit

[@keyurshah9455]

Thank you for uploading the video it was very helpful.can you please provide me the contents used so i can include them in my school project

[@areyra165]

How do you get the 40V for 75kg? What is the formula?

[@navtegsingh]

Tushar Jain, really a beautiful presentation. But I do find your values a bit more optimistic for what a piezoelectric element produces, we are itself into manufacturing of (PZT) PIezoelectric material/components in Pune (Sparkler Ceramics pvt ltd). Is it just theoretical calculations or did you actually get it practically ? Just want to know.

[@blast9511]

can u suggest some efficient piezoelectric cells or material i can use in my project? m also from pune

[@asifsalil6266]

Hello Tushar! First of all, Really innovative idea! I have a doubt though. Have you used PZT crystals for this project? Would there be a considerable difference if I used PVDF crystals, which are fairly more efficient and has less acoustic impedance? Thank you.

[@DimebagGaurav]

How come connecting piezo in series works?

[@fedebaroni8875]

Tushar, How are you? I'm doing a Power Shoe prototype. So, I have to ask, what kind of connection do you recommend? parallel or serie. Thanks

[@etaogheneorakpoyovwuru2822]

Please, I did this practical experiment. My AC voltage was varying , sometimes, 10V sometimes 2 V. That's not my problem, the problem I'm facing is, the rectifier circuit absorbs all my ac voltage and delivers value of around 0.5V as the DC output, please, what should I do?

[@sarfrazz34]

bro really awesome have you completed a prototype of it

[@BB-er8xr]

Connect in parallel or series or mix which one is better ?and why? Thx

[@aakashrpoduval6391]

It depends on what you want to do with he energy! If you want more voltage, then connect in parallel OR if you want more current(amps), then connect in series! Mixing might be the best because if its for charging your phone then connect the plates in parallel till you get 5V and then the rest if series for more current!( more current can give you a faster charge!) Hope this helped! Cheers!!

base on your circuit diagram how can you convert AC to Dc if your source is bat?

[@kartechindustries3069]

It's actually a mistake he should have placed rectifier before battery

[@nushratsharmin1581]

can anyone explain why is it producing ac while running or walking??

[@arpitjain4025]

When we press piezo sensor then it produce energy in one direction then when it return back to its previous state then it produce energy in another direction thus we get alternating output (AC)
