SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of piezo-electric crystals for charging small batteries and supplying current to loads. Users inquire about the feasibility of using the same battery for both charging and discharging, and whether feedback from the load's vibration can be harnessed to recharge the battery. Key resources include circuit diagrams and methods for building piezo-electric storage systems, emphasizing that piezo devices operate at high voltage but low current levels.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of piezo-electric materials and their properties
  • Basic knowledge of electrical circuits and battery systems
  • Familiarity with high-voltage, low-current applications
  • Experience with energy harvesting techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research piezo-electric energy harvesting methods
  • Explore circuit design for integrating piezo-electric crystals with batteries
  • Learn about self-charging battery technologies
  • Investigate the use of PZT (lead zirconate titanate) in energy applications
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and hobbyists interested in renewable energy solutions, energy harvesting technologies, and the practical applications of piezo-electric materials in battery systems.

Can I use the piezo-electric crystal to charge a small battery and connect the battery to a load.
The problem here is that the battery has to supply current to the load for a short period. Then it has to be recharged by the crystal. will I be able to use the same battery for charging and discharging?

The circuit for piezo-electric storage found in the internet is http://ej.iop.org/images/0957-0233/23/1/015101/Full/mst399991fig10.jpg

Should I directly connect the load to the battery.

Can I be able to feed back the vibration produced by the load to PZT and hence using it for charging the battery
