Piezoelectric Power Generation System

摘要

A piezoelectric power generation device includes a stator, a rotor, and one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The stator comprises an internal surface which defines an internal orifice. The one or more piezoelectric power generation elements are disposed on the internal surface of the stator. The rotor is disposed within the internal orifice comprising one or more lobes formed on an outside surface of the rotor. The rotor is configured to rotate with respect to the stator and the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The one or more lobes contact the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements as the one or more lobes rotate past the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The one or more piezoelectric power generation elements generate energy when contacted by the one or more lobes.
