    Brainstorming: Large scale piezoelectricity generation

    Let me give you an example of a thought (I haven't given it a huge amount of thought...just brainstorming again!) In Swansea, Wales they are building a tidal lagoon power plant. There will be large walls enclosing the lagoon area with suiles that allow water to pour in/out and turbines that...

    Brainstorming: Large scale piezoelectricity generation

    So there is no positive correlation between size of displacement and power output? - ie. if there is a larger force placed on a piezo there will be more energy produced? Also, I suppose your point about high frequency is where I was getting at with my sail question. If you've ever been on a...

    Brainstorming: Large scale piezoelectricity generation

    Thanks for the welcome. I'm unsure exactly what question you're asking me but hopefully my reply is what you're looking for. The main issues I've observed in the little I've seen are multi-fold. But the biggest issues are: 1. Media such as quartz/ceramic only produce electricity at the...

    Brainstorming: Large scale piezoelectricity generation

    Hello all; Just thought I'd throw a brainstorming question to all you smart guys out there about a subject I know only from the youtube videos I've just come across. Large scale electricity generation from piezoelectricity. I'm aware that this technology is used mostly on a small scale...
