Design and Fabrication of Piezoelectric Generator Using Piezoelectric Ceramics

원판형 압전 세라믹을 이용한 압전 발전 장치의 설계 및 제작

On this paper, piezoelectric generators using piezoelectric ceramics were designed and fabricated. Generators were made by attaching cymbal type metal plates on upper and bottom sides of a disc type piezoelectric ceramic. Generator converts wasting mechanical energy to electrical energy. Output voltage was increased when thickness of ceramic and displacement of vibration were increased. Temperature of the ceramic was increased when it generates, but the temperature rising was saturated at certain temperature.
