An investigation of piezoelectric tile with drop test technique for energy harvesting application

This paper present test and analyses of piezoelectric transducers tile with drop technique. was tested together bending mechanism. The mechanism designed using SolidWork software manufactured by employing 3D printer technology to conduct the evaluation. connected in a parallel configuration inserted employed this various loads speeds. conducted based on free fall concept. A wooden box used as guide an object onto tile. weight load released at fixed height different output power generated speed were recorded average force applied transducer. highest 634.54 µW when 6 kg 2 drop/s 1.89 N each lowest 6.28 1 0.5 0.22 applied. results showed good transducer for energy harvesting application.
