Abstract:

In this modern era, everything needs much power for its operations, and at present, these operations are powered mostly with the use of fossil fuels. In this paper, we have presented a method to harvest eco-friendly electricity by using the piezoelectric effect. This paper proposes a greener solution for minor power demands. The piezoelectric effect is a material's ability to generate an electric charge when a mechanical stress is applied. This paper assesses the commercial viability of piezoelectric based techniques in roadways. The work involves using piezoelectric transducers that can be implanted beneath the roadbed to harvest electricity from the vibrations produced by the moving vehicles on the road and can be used for streetlight applications. The energy is produced from consumer participation, and it does not require any separate source of input energy. The piezoelectric road is an energy revolutionary concept to provide a sustainable solution to the generation of electricity. In this paper, two different sizes of piezoelectric crystal performances are compared using laboratory tests, and the results are displayed.
