Waste Mechanical Energy Harvesting (I): Piezoelectric Effect

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Waste Energy Harvesting

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Energy ((LNEN,volume 24))

Abstract

Mechanical energy is one of the most ubiquitous energies that can be reused in our surroundings. The sources of mechanical energy can be a vibrating structure, a moving object, and vibration induced by flowing air or water. The energies related to induced vibrations or movement by flow of air and water at large-scale are wind energy and hydroelectric energy, respectively, which are not within the scope of this book. Instead, the mechanical energies here can be classified as so-called “low level” vibrations and movements. Such potential “low-level” vibrations and movements are summarized in Table 2.1 [1] and Table 2.2 [2].
