Advantages and uses of Earthquake Energy/Shocks.

1. Earthquake Energy
Imran Abbasi

2. Energies related with Earthquakes
• Earthquakes release energy in several forms:
• The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake
• Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface
• Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting
something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the
earthquake
• Elastic potential energy, as in the recoil energy of a stretched spring
• We can directly measure the first of these energies, that in seismic
waves. The other types of energy cannot be measured directly, but
can only be indirectly inferred.

3. How does Earthquake work?
• Radioactive energy, decays produce heat energy.
• Causing Convection Currents in Mantle.
• This movement is transferred to Earth's crust
where movement stores up energy.
When the rock breaks or (blocks interlock) , the
stored energy is released suddenly outwards
towards surface in form of seismic waves.
• Rocks are elastic and store energy when they are
cool. As they get hotter and under greater
pressure, they behave more plastically.

4. How to Calculate Seismic Energy?

5. Uses Of Earthquake Energy ?

6. Road Power Generation

8. Advancing Technology
• The energy-generating roadway works thanks to
piezoelectric crystals embedded in the asphalt. As
vehicles pass over them, the vibrations generate
a small amount of electricity that travels to a
larger transformer which then distributes the
energy.
• it essentially transforms kinetic energy into
electrical current

9. A seismograph detects
and records EQs.
A seismogram is the
EQ record.

10. What is Piezoelectricity?
• Crystals which acquire a charge when
compressed, twisted or distorted are said to
be piezoelectric.
• Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain
materials to generate an electric charge in
response to applied mechanical stress.

15. Now the effects of the charges (their dipole moments) no longer cancel one another
out and net positive and negative charges appear on opposite crystal faces. By
squeezing the crystal, you've produced a voltage across its opposite faces—and that's
piezoelectricity!

16. Things required for EPG
• Some special Ductile material.
• springs
• lead-rubber bearings
• Piezoelectric crystals
• solid lead core
• Battery

18. Advantages of EPG
• EPG would only not generate electricity but
also absorbs the energy released from
Earthquakes.

19. 2- Seismic Bombs.
• How to store Earthquake energy?
• Not all materials can store energy like a spring.
Material should be Elastic.
I. Put some specially built elastic material.
II. When earthquake strikes, it can store energy
likewise energy accumulated between two
blocks below surface.
III. We can store small packets of energy from
earthquake and when we got enough energy
we can take that elastic body out and take it in
subsurface on our desiring TARGET!

20. Earthquake Energy Advantage?
• Earthquakes occur along fault lines or plate boundries
through out the World, but they can also create new
faults and fractures which can be of advantage by
means of deep horizons studies and they can make
Trap for HC Reservoir etc.

21. Tsunami ?
• Another way to harness earthquake energy: Suppose
Japan had built a giant “wall” equipped with
hydroelectric turbines along the coast, but this wall was
buried underground and spring-loaded. Once the
tsunami crossed the wall, they could release the springs
and the wall/dam would pop up, trapping the water
inland and generating electricity as it flowed back to sea
through the turbines.
Also same wall if built in other countries and popped up
before striking of Tsunami wave, it can reduce the
destruction of Tsunami in Countries like India and
Pakistan.

22. CONCLUSION & REFRENCES
• Al the work is presented is hypothetical and is not
proved yet so its all Imaginary .
