Piezoelectric Generator

This test setup was made to demonstrate how vibrations (from the environment or deliberately invoked) can be used to harvest energy. The vibration energy is converted into electrical energy by a low power, high-efficiency converter. The electrical energy is used to power an electronic device. This project was developed many years ago. Meanwhile many applications are realized world wide. In the side bar a few internet links are added to some projects and products in this field of technology.

A schematic diagram of the test setup is shown in the image below.
