| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a device, apparatus, system, and method for power harvesting from roads, highways and airport runways using piezoelectric generator. Preferably, the power generators comprise a plurality of piezoelectric rods embedded in a matrix such as a binder. Preferably, electric power is produced when piezoelectric rods within the piezoelectric devices are compressed due to the weight of the passing vehicle. The invention provides a system for power harvesting comprising a plurality of piezoelectric devices embedded in a road or a runway and configured to produce electrical power when a vehicle traverses their locations. The system includes a power conditioning unit and electrical conductors connecting said piezoelectric devices to the power conditioning unit. Harvested energy may be used locally in proximity to the energy generation location, stored for later use, or transferred to be used in remote location.
