Abstract:This article presents the characterization of an rotational
generator with ceramic piezoelectric transducers, applied to energy
harvesting. The physical structure developed, presents flexibility
in relation to the number of beams, piezoelectric elements and
coupling of generator modules, and keeps the piezoelectric
transducers without direct contact with extern environment, which
allows the device adaptation for practical applications. The
prototype developed has two generator modules, totaling f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
