ABSTRACT
All the electrical or electronic equipment need electrical power supply to operate. Most of these equipments are
powered by conventional electricity resources. Conventional energy resource in form of electricity is most
economic and cost effective. However this may not be suitable for some applications like portable instruments or
the equipments used at remote areas. Therefore there is always search for alternate energy sources and solar
energy, biogas, windmill etc. are the results of such searches. They may not be cost effective and there are
several disadvantages in these sources. Piezoelectric generator (PEG) is one type of non-conventional energy
source that can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. Though their energy conversion is very low, but
they may be used in some typical applications of portable and low power consuming devices. In this paper some
investigation has been made how energy can be extracted from piezoelectric generators and efficiency can be
improved which is applied as the power source to operate an Electronic Scale.
Keywords: Piezoelectricity, Piezoelectric generators, Transversal, Shear, Display driver.
1. INTRODUCTION
Any type of electronic or electrical or electromechanical equipment requires electricity to operate. Most of them
are powered by conventional source of electricity, where generation of electricity is cost effective. But
conventional electrical energy may not be suitable for some applications like portable instruments or equipments
used in remote areas. Scientists are always looking for alternate source of energy which should be cost effective
as well as efficient in operation.
Piezoelectricity is one such type of source of non-conventional energy where electricity is generated from
mechanical vibration. Mechanical vibration is observed in daily life and can be generated whenever necessory by
individuals. Energy from mechanical vibration can conceivably b e obtained from piezoelectric generators (PEG).
Therefore PEGs have recently regained interest in the power generation field for portable and low power
consuming devices. The merit of applying PEG’s to these devices is that they can reduce the battery weight and
possibly make the device self-powered by harvesting mechanical energy. However energy conversion from
piezoelectric elements is normally very low. To maximize the advantages of piezoelectricity and to optimize its
electrical energy production, the electro-mechanical characteristics of piezoelectric materials must be revisited.
Electronic scale or electronic weighing machine is one of the electronic apparatus which has enormous
commercial utility or otherwise. This requires low power and with the advent of technology its power
consumption has been reduced drastically. In this paper, investigations has been made for different possible
configurations of piezoelectric energy generators, with mathematical modeling that result in relationships
between applied force (or pressure) and generated electrical energy. This is followed by the analysis to determine
the factors that lead to maximum electrical energy generation in relation to a given volume of material or applied
mechanical force, pressure, or stress. An analysis of electrical characteristics is made to enhance the power
output and efficiency. Finally the design idea of an Electronic Scale has been provided which is powered by the
energy generated by piezoelectric elements.
2. BACKGROUND
As a word described by itself, Piezo means pressure, while electric refers to electricity. When crystals are
pressurized, an electric field is generated. The piezoelectric effect was first discovered long before by Pierre
and Jacques Curie, where they observed the presence of electricity with the application of pressure on the
crystals. This is called the piezoelectric effect. The electric field generated by piezoelectric effect is quite small
and not very useful until the LiTiBa ceramic was found. After the introduction of the LiTiBa ceramic, the
piezoelectricity performance was increased and widely used as an electric device. One of the most common
areas is resonators.
Piezoelectric material works both ways. The electric power can be used to generate force or deflection and also,
deflection or force can generate electric power. With a usual piezoelectric ceramic, the deflection with an
electrical energy is almost invisible to the naked eye. To increase the deflection, a stacked device, or bender
device, is used. In the sensor application, conventional diaphragm designs or sometimes spring mass damper
designs are used. They are only used to measure the voltage generation.

Until recently, the piezoelectric generator (PEG) was not popular as a power generator because of its small
power generation. Modern electrical devices are getting smaller and require smaller amounts of electrical energy.
With current technology, the power requirement for low power microprocessors is only about 1 mW, which is
possible to be delivered by PEGs. Unfortunately, design problems still remain.
3.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF PIEZO-ELEMENTS
Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (notably crystals, certain
ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical
stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. In these materials the centers of the
negative and positive charges of each molecule coincide, and the external effects of the charges are reciprocally
cancelled. As a result, an electrically neutral molecule appears as in figure 1.

Figure 1: Without Force

Figure 2: With Force

Fi
Figure 3 Redistributi of Di le
3: Redistribution f Dipoles

With the application of external force the internal structure of material’s surface is deformed, resulting in the
separation of the positive and negative centers of the molecules and thus little dipoles are generated. It is
illustrated in figure 2. The material is polarized as a distribution of a linked charge appears in the material’s
surfaces. The facing poles inside the material are mutually cancelled. The polarization generates an electric field
from the material’s deformation as shown in figure 3, which can be utilized in several applications.
Depending on the way a piezoelectric material is cut, three main types of operations can be distinguished: (i)
Transversal, (ii) Longitudinal and (iii) Shear. A gallium phosphate crystal is shown with different modes (arrows
indicate the direction where the load is applied). Charges are generated on both sides of the element. The positive
charges on the front side are accompanied by negative charges on the back.
3.1
Transverse effect
A force is applied along a neutral axis and the charges are generated along the d11 direction as in figure 4. The
amount of charge depends on the geometrical dimensions of the respective piezoelectric element. The charge
generated is:
where a is the dimension in line with the neutral axis and b is in line with the charge generating axis, d11 is
piezoelectric coefficient and Fy is applied force in y-direction.
3.2 Longitudinal effect
The amount of charges produced is strictly proportional to the applied force and is independent of size and
shape of the piezoelectric element. Using several elements that are mechanically in series and electrically in
parallel is the only way to increase the charge output. The resulting charge is:
where d11 is piezoelectric coefficient [pC/N] Fx is applied Force in x-direction and n is the number of elements.
Figure5 illustrates the longitudinal effect.

4. POWER GENERATION
The voltage and power generation by piezo-elements is not very high, though instantaneous power generated
from piezo with application of vibration or mechanical strain is moderate. To extract power, the piezo output
voltage is rectified and then placed across a capacitive load to provide smooth DC voltage as shown in the figure
7.

The capacitor value is to be chosen using the following equation for average power, where C is the capacitance
in Farads, V is the open circuit voltage piezo, and Δt is a reasonable time interval (~ 10 seconds).

and
Electronic circuits generally operate at the power supply of ±3V to ±15V. Therefore, for application of
electricity generated from piezoelectric generators to the low power electronic circuits, it is required that the
generated voltage level is to be around 3V and this voltage is to be sustained for 15 to 20 sec for processing and
display after the removal of mechanical stress. A study has been presented here in this respect where the piezo
material is chosen as FT-20T-6.8E Piezo disc which is commercially available.
5. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND ANALYSIS ON PIEZO-ELEMENTS
The study on piezo-material has been performed to determine the amount of voltage or power generated with
respect to time. One commercially available piezo-material FT-20T-6.8E is placed as shown in the circuit of
figure 7. With the output capacitor as 1000 MFD, the voltage versus time observation is noted at table 1. It was
observed that voltage output initially increased with the application of mechanical stress but became steady at
1750 mV. To increase the output voltage two piezo elements, each followed by bridge rectifier, are kept in series
with similar capacitive load of 1000 MFD. The output voltage became steady at 2150 mV with almost similar
rise time Output voltage is further increased to 2760 mV and 3800 mV, resulted by respectively three and four
piezo elements are in series with output capacitance of 1000 MFD. All the results are tabulated at table 1. The
results are further presented in graphical form at figure 8.
These results clearly indicate that the steady output voltage is obtained by using multiple numbers of piezo
elements in series. It is to be noted that each piezo element is followed by bridge rectifier.
However these observations were obtained at no load condition. To check the performance at loaded condition,
four piezo elements are placed in series (each piezo element is followed by bridge rectifier) with capacitor of
1000MFD and 1 KΩ at output, which is tabulated at table 2. It is noted that output voltage became steady at
3000 mV.
Further observation was made to see the effect of output capacitance. Capacitance value is increased to 2200
MFD. There is marginal improvement of steady output voltage as noted at table 2. However advantage of using
higher capacitance is that the voltage output remains steady for longer time after removal of mechanical stress.
Both the observations are presented at figure 9 in graphical form.

electronic applications. To improve current/power requirement, two or three sets of piezo element can be used in
parallel, where each set of piezos comprised of four piezo elements with bridge rectifiers in series as illustrated

6. DESIGN IDEA OF ELECTRONIC SCALE

The electronic scale developed in laboratory is meant for low cost and low weight measurement up to 1Kg.
Load cell strain gauges are used as sensor elements that are mounted on a weighing platform. According to
the weight of material, the weight sensing elements strain gauges, when biased, convert weight to electrical
signal. The sensor output signal is passed through a signal conditioner circuit followed by an amplifier
circuit and finally fed to the display unit. The schematic diagram is given at the figure 11.

Figure12: Circuit Diagram of Electronic Scale

The complete circuit diagram of the electronic scale is presented at figure 12. Load cell strain gauges are
mounted at the weighing platform such that any load kept on the platform yields mechanical stress resulting
in changes of resistances of the strain gauges. Strain gauges are placed in Wheatson bridge configuration.
When any load is placed on the platform, the resistances of the arms of Wheatson bridge are changed to
create an unbalanced condition, resulting in difference in voltage. The signal conditioning of voltage
difference from wheatson bridge is accomplished by passing through unity gain amplifiers followed a
differential amplifier. The output of differential amplifier is fed to another stage of amplifier. Zero and Span
adjustments are provided by variable resistances. Quad operational amplifier LM 324 may be employed for
above operation. Zenner diode of 2.7V is used for biasing the Wheatson bridge to stabilize and to avoid any
minor fluctuation in the supply voltage which is generated by piezo-elements.
The amplifier output is equivalent to the load kept at the weighing platform which is analog in nature. This
amplified signal is fed to an integrated circuit ICL7136 that performs the tasks of 3½ digit analog to digital

conversion and LCD display driver. The outputs of LCD driver are connected to the LCD display unit.
LCD display has the advantage of low power consumption, which is necessory for piezoelectricity driven
equipments. The operation amplifiers are powered by the piezoelectricity as discussed above. However to
meet the supply voltage requirement of ICL7136, a voltage doubler circuit is employed. The scheme as
described above has been experimentally tried in the laboratory producing satisfactory results with good
accuracy. The hardware set up is shown at figure 13.

7. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
As observed from the experimental study above, the piezoelectric elements can deliver a good amount of power
that may be useful for low power electronic devices or portable instruments. It is proved at the successful
implementation of low power weighing machine in the laboratory. The hardware structure for energy extraction
from piezo-elements is done in prototype by placing the elements in between two non-metallic sheets with spring
arrangement. The mechanical stress is achieved by vibrating one the sheets by hand. However this arrangement
may be improvised to generate more mechanical vibration with little effort. Though this laboratory model is
intended for weighing up to 1Kg, the same circuit idea can be applied for higher weight measurement by
selecting proper load cell and calibration.
Piezoelectric elements offer a unique set of capabilities- inherent temperature stability, the amplitude range and
the signal quality. This experimental study was made on commercially available piezo-elements. However there
is lot of researches to improve the performance of piezoelectric elements and manufacturers offer wide range
piezoelectric elements of higher performance. Cadmium Sulphide, Gallium Arsenide, Tellurium Dioxide,
Aluminum Nitride etc. are the few among high performance piezoelectric materials. Integrated circuits are also
available for efficient energy harvesting from piezoelectric materials. Using proper mechanism piezoelectric
elements can be used as replacement of battery. However one disadvantage in above design idea is that
continuous display is not possible as the piezoelectric power deceases with the withdrawal of mechanical stress.
With proper selection of capacitance at piezoelectric power generation circuit, the display time duration may be
adjusted so that a person can read.
Piezoelectric power generators (PEG) have many advantages over other conversion methods.. Because of their
simplicity, PEG’s can even be made small enough to fit inside of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS).
Another advantage is that the lifetime of the system is almost unlimited if the applied force and external
temperature are within the operational range. Unlike the power generation methods that rely on heat conversion,
a PEG presents no problems such as heat isolation. In additio n , much of energy is being lost different
vibrational e n v iro n me n t s li ke r u n n i n g o f ma c h i n erie s, mo v i n g ve h ic le s, mo v i n g sta irc as e s
etc. P EG s ca n b e e mp lo yed to e xtr ac t e n erg y fr o m these nonconventional sources. Even with these
advantages, PEGs have been neglected for power generation because of the small electrical output.

A study on piezoelectric elements and its utility in designing

  • 1. Innovative Systems Design and Engineering ISSN 2222-1727 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2871 (Online) Vol.4, No.15, 2013 www.iiste.org A Study on Piezoelectric Elements and Its Utility in Designing of Electronic Scale Nilotpal Manna Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering JIS College of Engineering, Kalyani, Nadia – 741235, India email: nmanna324@gmail.com ABSTRACT All the electrical or electronic equipment need electrical power supply to operate. Most of these equipments are powered by conventional electricity resources. Conventional energy resource in form of electricity is most economic and cost effective. However this may not be suitable for some applications like portable instruments or the equipments used at remote areas. Therefore there is always search for alternate energy sources and solar energy, biogas, windmill etc. are the results of such searches. They may not be cost effective and there are several disadvantages in these sources. Piezoelectric generator (PEG) is one type of non-conventional energy source that can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. Though their energy conversion is very low, but they may be used in some typical applications of portable and low power consuming devices. In this paper some investigation has been made how energy can be extracted from piezoelectric generators and efficiency can be improved which is applied as the power source to operate an Electronic Scale. Keywords: Piezoelectricity, Piezoelectric generators, Transversal, Shear, Display driver. 1. INTRODUCTION Any type of electronic or electrical or electromechanical equipment requires electricity to operate. Most of them are powered by conventional source of electricity, where generation of electricity is cost effective. But conventional electrical energy may not be suitable for some applications like portable instruments or equipments used in remote areas. Scientists are always looking for alternate source of energy which should be cost effective as well as efficient in operation. Piezoelectricity is one such type of source of non-conventional energy where electricity is generated from mechanical vibration. Mechanical vibration is observed in daily life and can be generated whenever necessory by individuals. Energy from mechanical vibration can conceivably b e obtained from piezoelectric generators (PEG). Therefore PEGs have recently regained interest in the power generation field for portable and low power consuming devices. The merit of applying PEG’s to these devices is that they can reduce the battery weight and possibly make the device self-powered by harvesting mechanical energy. However energy conversion from piezoelectric elements is normally very low. To maximize the advantages of piezoelectricity and to optimize its electrical energy production, the electro-mechanical characteristics of piezoelectric materials must be revisited. Electronic scale or electronic weighing machine is one of the electronic apparatus which has enormous commercial utility or otherwise. This requires low power and with the advent of technology its power consumption has been reduced drastically. In this paper, investigations has been made for different possible configurations of piezoelectric energy generators, with mathematical modeling that result in relationships between applied force (or pressure) and generated electrical energy. This is followed by the analysis to determine the factors that lead to maximum electrical energy generation in relation to a given volume of material or applied mechanical force, pressure, or stress. An analysis of electrical characteristics is made to enhance the power output and efficiency. Finally the design idea of an Electronic Scale has been provided which is powered by the energy generated by piezoelectric elements. 2. BACKGROUND As a word described by itself, Piezo means pressure, while electric refers to electricity. When crystals are pressurized, an electric field is generated. The piezoelectric effect was first discovered long before by Pierre and Jacques Curie, where they observed the presence of electricity with the application of pressure on the crystals. This is called the piezoelectric effect. The electric field generated by piezoelectric effect is quite small and not very useful until the LiTiBa ceramic was found. After the introduction of the LiTiBa ceramic, the piezoelectricity performance was increased and widely used as an electric device. One of the most common areas is resonators. Piezoelectric material works both ways. The electric power can be used to generate force or deflection and also, deflection or force can generate electric power. With a usual piezoelectric ceramic, the deflection with an electrical energy is almost invisible to the naked eye. To increase the deflection, a stacked device, or bender device, is used. In the sensor application, conventional diaphragm designs or sometimes spring mass damper designs are used. They are only used to measure the voltage generation. 1

Innovative Systems Design and Engineering ISSN 2222-1727 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2871 (Online) Vol.4, No.15, 2013 www.iiste.org Until recently, the piezoelectric generator (PEG) was not popular as a power generator because of its small power generation. Modern electrical devices are getting smaller and require smaller amounts of electrical energy. With current technology, the power requirement for low power microprocessors is only about 1 mW, which is possible to be delivered by PEGs. Unfortunately, design problems still remain. 3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF PIEZO-ELEMENTS Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (notably crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. In these materials the centers of the negative and positive charges of each molecule coincide, and the external effects of the charges are reciprocally cancelled. As a result, an electrically neutral molecule appears as in figure 1. Figure 1: Without Force Figure 2: With Force Fi Figure 3 Redistributi of Di le 3: Redistribution f Dipoles With the application of external force the internal structure of material’s surface is deformed, resulting in the separation of the positive and negative centers of the molecules and thus little dipoles are generated. It is illustrated in figure 2. The material is polarized as a distribution of a linked charge appears in the material’s surfaces. The facing poles inside the material are mutually cancelled. The polarization generates an electric field from the material’s deformation as shown in figure 3, which can be utilized in several applications. Depending on the way a piezoelectric material is cut, three main types of operations can be distinguished: (i) Transversal, (ii) Longitudinal and (iii) Shear. A gallium phosphate crystal is shown with different modes (arrows indicate the direction where the load is applied). Charges are generated on both sides of the element. The positive charges on the front side are accompanied by negative charges on the back. 3.1 Transverse effect A force is applied along a neutral axis and the charges are generated along the d11 direction as in figure 4. The amount of charge depends on the geometrical dimensions of the respective piezoelectric element. The charge generated is: where a is the dimension in line with the neutral axis and b is in line with the charge generating axis, d11 is piezoelectric coefficient and Fy is applied force in y-direction. 3.2 Longitudinal effect The amount of charges produced is strictly proportional to the applied force and is independent of size and shape of the piezoelectric element. Using several elements that are mechanically in series and electrically in parallel is the only way to increase the charge output. The resulting charge is: where d11 is piezoelectric coefficient [pC/N] Fx is applied Force in x-direction and n is the number of elements. Figure5 illustrates the longitudinal effect. 2

POWER GENERATION The voltage and power generation by piezo-elements is not very high, though instantaneous power generated from piezo with application of vibration or mechanical strain is moderate. To extract power, the piezo output voltage is rectified and then placed across a capacitive load to provide smooth DC voltage as shown in the figure 7.

Innovative Systems Design and Engineering ISSN 2222-1727 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2871 (Online) Vol.4, No.15, 2013 www.iiste.org The capacitor value is to be chosen using the following equation for average power, where C is the capacitance in Farads, V is the open circuit voltage piezo, and Δt is a reasonable time interval (~ 10 seconds). and Electronic circuits generally operate at the power supply of ±3V to ±15V. Therefore, for application of electricity generated from piezoelectric generators to the low power electronic circuits, it is required that the generated voltage level is to be around 3V and this voltage is to be sustained for 15 to 20 sec for processing and display after the removal of mechanical stress. A study has been presented here in this respect where the piezo material is chosen as FT-20T-6.8E Piezo disc which is commercially available. 5. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND ANALYSIS ON PIEZO-ELEMENTS The study on piezo-material has been performed to determine the amount of voltage or power generated with respect to time. One commercially available piezo-material FT-20T-6.8E is placed as shown in the circuit of figure 7. With the output capacitor as 1000 MFD, the voltage versus time observation is noted at table 1. It was observed that voltage output initially increased with the application of mechanical stress but became steady at 1750 mV. To increase the output voltage two piezo elements, each followed by bridge rectifier, are kept in series with similar capacitive load of 1000 MFD. The output voltage became steady at 2150 mV with almost similar rise time Output voltage is further increased to 2760 mV and 3800 mV, resulted by respectively three and four piezo elements are in series with output capacitance of 1000 MFD. All the results are tabulated at table 1. The results are further presented in graphical form at figure 8. These results clearly indicate that the steady output voltage is obtained by using multiple numbers of piezo elements in series. It is to be noted that each piezo element is followed by bridge rectifier. However these observations were obtained at no load condition. To check the performance at loaded condition, four piezo elements are placed in series (each piezo element is followed by bridge rectifier) with capacitor of 1000MFD and 1 KΩ at output, which is tabulated at table 2. It is noted that output voltage became steady at 3000 mV. Further observation was made to see the effect of output capacitance. Capacitance value is increased to 2200 MFD. There is marginal improvement of steady output voltage as noted at table 2. However advantage of using higher capacitance is that the voltage output remains steady for longer time after removal of mechanical stress. Both the observations are presented at figure 9 in graphical form. 4

DESIGN IDEA OF ELECTRONIC SCALE The electronic scale developed in laboratory is meant for low cost and low weight measurement up to 1Kg. Load cell strain gauges are used as sensor elements that are mounted on a weighing platform. According to the weight of material, the weight sensing elements strain gauges, when biased, convert weight to electrical signal. The sensor output signal is passed through a signal conditioner circuit followed by an amplifier circuit and finally fed to the display unit. The schematic diagram is given at the figure 11. 7

Load cell strain gauges are mounted at the weighing platform such that any load kept on the platform yields mechanical stress resulting in changes of resistances of the strain gauges. Strain gauges are placed in Wheatson bridge configuration. When any load is placed on the platform, the resistances of the arms of Wheatson bridge are changed to create an unbalanced condition, resulting in difference in voltage. The signal conditioning of voltage difference from wheatson bridge is accomplished by passing through unity gain amplifiers followed a differential amplifier. The output of differential amplifier is fed to another stage of amplifier. Zero and Span adjustments are provided by variable resistances. Quad operational amplifier LM 324 may be employed for above operation. Zenner diode of 2.7V is used for biasing the Wheatson bridge to stabilize and to avoid any minor fluctuation in the supply voltage which is generated by piezo-elements. The amplifier output is equivalent to the load kept at the weighing platform which is analog in nature. This amplified signal is fed to an integrated circuit ICL7136 that performs the tasks of 3½ digit analog to digital 8

The outputs of LCD driver are connected to the LCD display unit. LCD display has the advantage of low power consumption, which is necessory for piezoelectricity driven equipments. The operation amplifiers are powered by the piezoelectricity as discussed above. However to meet the supply voltage requirement of ICL7136, a voltage doubler circuit is employed. The scheme as described above has been experimentally tried in the laboratory producing satisfactory results with good accuracy. The hardware set up is shown at figure 13. Weighing platform Piezo-elements are placed under this movable sheet mounted with springs Figure 13: Hardware set up 7. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION As observed from the experimental study above, the piezoelectric elements can deliver a good amount of power that may be useful for low power electronic devices or portable instruments. It is proved at the successful implementation of low power weighing machine in the laboratory. The hardware structure for energy extraction from piezo-elements is done in prototype by placing the elements in between two non-metallic sheets with spring arrangement. The mechanical stress is achieved by vibrating one the sheets by hand. However this arrangement may be improvised to generate more mechanical vibration with little effort. Though this laboratory model is intended for weighing up to 1Kg, the same circuit idea can be applied for higher weight measurement by selecting proper load cell and calibration. Piezoelectric elements offer a unique set of capabilities- inherent temperature stability, the amplitude range and the signal quality. This experimental study was made on commercially available piezo-elements. However there is lot of researches to improve the performance of piezoelectric elements and manufacturers offer wide range piezoelectric elements of higher performance. Cadmium Sulphide, Gallium Arsenide, Tellurium Dioxide, Aluminum Nitride etc. are the few among high performance piezoelectric materials. Integrated circuits are also available for efficient energy harvesting from piezoelectric materials. Using proper mechanism piezoelectric elements can be used as replacement of battery. However one disadvantage in above design idea is that continuous display is not possible as the piezoelectric power deceases with the withdrawal of mechanical stress. With proper selection of capacitance at piezoelectric power generation circuit, the display time duration may be adjusted so that a person can read. Piezoelectric power generators (PEG) have many advantages over other conversion methods.. Because of their simplicity, PEG’s can even be made small enough to fit inside of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS). Another advantage is that the lifetime of the system is almost unlimited if the applied force and external temperature are within the operational range. Unlike the power generation methods that rely on heat conversion, a PEG presents no problems such as heat isolation. In additio n , much of energy is being lost different vibrational e n v iro n me n t s li ke r u n n i n g o f ma c h i n erie s, mo v i n g ve h ic le s, mo v i n g sta irc as e s etc. P EG s ca n b e e mp lo yed to e xtr ac t e n erg y fr o m these nonconventional sources. Even with these advantages, PEGs have been neglected for power generation because of the small electrical output. 9
