Piezo - Smart Roads
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to satisfy the rising energy demands of global consumption, a new cleaner and renewable power source needs to be explored, conceptualized and developed. This paper intends to introduce an alternative source of energy by using piezoelectric material -a class of smart material. A piezoelectric road that will produce electricity from the stress experienced by the roads due to the movement of automobiles is proposed. The main principle behind this is the piezoelectric effect. The energy is produced from the consumer’s participation and it does not require any separate source of input energy.
