Piezo electricity generation using piezoelectric disk(buzzer).

AI Thread Summary
Piezoelectric disks can effectively generate energy from pedestrian movement on footpaths, producing voltages between 10mV to 100mV per disk. To maximize energy output, using multiple disks in parallel is recommended, as this increases the total voltage generated. For circuit design, it's essential to research appropriate configurations that can efficiently harness and store the generated energy. The discussion encourages thorough research and development, emphasizing the importance of the project being student-led. Engaging with existing resources, such as previous forum threads, can provide valuable insights for the project.

Welcome to the PF.

This previous thread from here in the EE forum should be of help:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=373327

Once you read that thread and do some other reading (assuming wikipedia comes back up tomorrow), let us know if you have specific questions. Remember, this is *your* school project, so you must do the bulk of the research and development work.
 
These discs can be used as guitar pickups and in that application generate voltages of about 10mV to 100mV... something for you to go on.
 
But the more no. Of disk produce more voltage that can be sufficiant power to store.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
