Best way to transform particular mechanical energy into electrical energy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on transforming low-power mechanical energy from multiple hits into electrical energy. The user describes generating pressure of approximately 0.01 N/m2 from 10 to 100 hits at a time and seeks practical methods for conversion. Suggestions include using piezoelectric films combined with a full-wave rectifier to maximize energy output. The size and shape of the target area can be adjusted, ranging from 1 cm2 to 100 cm2 or more, to optimize energy capture. The user aims to minimize energy loss during the conversion process.

What is the best and most practical way to transform particular mechanical energy into electrical energy.I am not quite familiar to physics so I' ll try to explain what I want outsider way.
When I say"particular mechanical energy" I mean the energy consisting of many low power hits.One hit make pressure(P) about 0.01 N/m2.When I say many hits I mean 10 - 100 at one time and again and again...
What quantum of energy can I expect to get in some period of time?
What is recommended ground for getting hits(to be hit) that loosing of energy be the least?
I am sincerely hope that you will understand what I am asking for.
Thank you!

Welcome to the PF. How large is the target area? How thick will the target be?

One possibility is a Piezo Film with a full wave rectifier for the output. It's been a while since I looked at Piezoelectric Films, though.

Thank you for welcoming.
The target area could be variable.I can change it from 1cm2 to 100cm2(or more)The shape of an area also may be variable.I can't explain everything in details before I finish the experiment the right way.I am looking for the best way to go.
 
Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
