Abstract

Vibration energy is a wasted energy that can be accumulated from the surrounding of us for beneficial power. Furthermore, energy harvesting devices are self generated that normally used for activating low power electronic components which have low power electrical consumption. According to this project, it is use vibration energy which is in the form of mechanical energy that needs to be transforming into the useful electrical energy using piezoelectric devices. Energy harvesting system using piezoelectric devices is a system that provides the user with free flowing energy that can be used without any consequences to the environment. This system enables users to generate energy for their uses by transform the mechanical energy produced by the car components vibration into electrical energy. The aims of this project is in general about designing and build a circuit to test the performance and characteristic of piezoelectricity. The system is then is installed at a car components to produce energy from the car vibration when the car is switched on. The output voltage of each component is compared whether it is produce a suitable vibration needed for the piezoelectric generating system or not. As a conclusion, this project shows a self-power sustainable electronic system for long lasting low power electronic application.
