The discussion revolves around methods to increase the output current from a piezoelectric transducer using PZT ceramic, with a specific requirement of achieving approximately 1.2 Amps from a current output of about 0.2 mA per unit. The scope includes technical explanations and proposed solutions for power generation from piezoelectric materials.
Participants express various methods and considerations for increasing output current, but there is no consensus on the best approach or the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. Multiple competing views remain regarding the optimal strategies for achieving the desired current output.
Participants do not specify the voltage generated or required, which is necessary for power calculations. Additionally, there are unresolved questions regarding the physical stimulus's waveform and frequency, as well as the optimal placement of the transducer.
A piezoelectric transducer "looks like a capacitor to the circuit trying to use it".Esfand Yar Ali said:How can I increase the output current from a piezoelectric trasnducer using PZT ceramic? The requirement is about 1.2 Amp but currently I'm only getting about 0.2 mA per unit.
You should be thinking in terms of energy flow = power. You do not specify the voltage generated or required, so I can't calculate power.
