AB  - Energy harvesting from renewables is an important research topic around the world. Due to the shortage of burning fossil fuels and the environmental effect worldwide, researchers are developing technologies for new green energy harvesting systems. In this research, a novel prototype of the energy-generating Pad was designed and tested successfully. This Pad has an energy-producing module using a type of thin-film PZT cells that each cell incorporates an energy collecting circuit for connecting to a DC power rail (DCPR). Funded by NSF, this energy pad technology is developed and fabricated successfully at the PVAMU's SMART Center for bike lane applications in Malaysia. This Pad is composed of seven layers of compound materials. The substrate of the energy pad includes three layers of non-stress fabrics and felt-like materials. A 3-foot long PZT strip consists of 18 thin-film PZT cells in the pad strip module. Subsequently, the DCPR was coated with a specific type of pulverized and cured polymer. The DCPR, therefore, provided very high tolerance to mechanically stressed PZT cells for more than 200 pounds. The DCPR was sandwiched by substrate and the upper layer of composite materials. This layer has two layers of felt-like materials and a non-stretching fabric, except the adhering materials compared to the substrate materials. One of the layers in the upper surface of the Pad was created by a mixture of acrylic-based liquid and silicone-based adhesive compounds to form a rubber-like texture. The curing time of this seven-layer Pad was between three and four days. The system was tested using an output load of 7.5 Kohm. A bicycle with a rider weighing a total of about 142 pounds conducted the test. Each of the tested PZT cells produced 68 VDC on average, and the energy of the DCPR was 616.53 MW for about 1 second of running the bike on the Pad. The technology is proven to be suitable for a new type of renewable energy system.
