Abstract

In this paper we focused on the performance and analysis of commercially available piezo generator, which converts mechanical vibration to electrical power. The relationship between the dynamic response of piezo generator and its power output is realized. The efficient energy transfer of mechanical structure and high electromechanical transformation of piezoelectric material make the piezoelectric generator a extraordinary performance. The piezoelectric generator produces maximum output voltage of 4.3 V which is 0.012 µW per centimeter square.
