Electricity Generation projects

Did you know that it is possible to produce electrical energy just by walking? Discover some research research that may explain to you only a little key on making insoles that can charge USB products! The process would be to make a slip-on insole that can produce sufficient electrical energy to charge battery packs/ USB products.

Bing Fair 2014:
This really is my entry for Google's 2014 research fair. Kindly help us by hitting so on and share switch on our YouTube video. The competition is YouTube based therefore getting a good number of loves and viewers would help lots obtaining united states through the competitors.

Thanks men for support! The project has actually qualified the local finalist and won an area prize in GSF 2014! :D

Development of The Project:
The ability generating bottoms are one of my very first idea projects. We started my very first model final 5 years ago even though it ended up being a rather ancient, compared to my existing design. My old prototype had two TO-3 synthetic spacer sandwiched between two piezo discs. It produces a reasonable quantity of existing, enough to charge a Nokia 3310.

5 years later, I came back using concept of with the sandwiched piezo setup, this time around integrated to a charge enthusiast and powerbank. So I thought, you will want to include 2 more sets? All things considered, even more is better.

Concept Behind The Venture:
Piezoelectricity had been present since mid-18th century. Piezoelectricity may be the electric cost that builds up in some solid materials (such as for example crystals, specific ceramics in reaction to applied mechanical tension. This sounds familiar! Indeed they do, it is possible to get a hold of those piezo elements in your old/ outdated earphones through the 90's.

Why-not Utilize Dynamos?
Whenever possible, I tried in order to prevent using dynamos. Indeed dynamos produce more electricity however it will feel like you've filled a rock inside footwear. Remember dynamos can establish countless sound.

Any Useful Uses?
Because funny as it seems, charging you a phone with your shoe isn't actually joke. That knows maybe someday footwear organizations like Nike might use these insole generators to run physical fitness chips (inside footwear) that could sync towards phone without any cables. This way, it's not necessary to charge your smart-shoes merely to sync these with your phone.

Disclaimer: that is slightly research research. It will probably explain to you the idea of creating electrical energy using piezoelectric elements. Never assume that's close in getting an item.
