➢ Piezoelectric material is the main component of Pavegen
Technology
➢ Piezoelectric ceramics belong to the group of ferroelectric
materials
➢ Each foot step on pavegen generates 2-5 Joule of energy
7. Piezo Material
7
➢ Unsymmetrical
electrically neutral crystal
➢ Due to applied mechanical
pressure, the structure
deforms, atoms get
pushed around, and
crystal can conduct an
electrical current
8. Piezoelectric Transducer
8
A transducer can be anything which
converts one form of energy to
another. Piezoelectric material is
one kind of transducers. We squeeze
this material or we apply force or
pressure on this material it converts
it into electric voltage and this
voltage is function of the force or
pressure applied to it. The material
which behaves in such a way is also
known as piezoelectric sensor.

In this grouping, a certain
number of cells are connected
in series and all such series are
then connected mutually in
parallel. Suppose ‘n’ cells are
connected in series and ‘m’
rows of such series groups are
connected in parallel.
Hence here we have,
n=3
m=2

Hence,
Maximum voltage 9.92 V
Average voltage 0.99 V
Maximum current 330.9 mA
Average current 33.15 mA
Maximum power 3.28 W
Average power 216.4 mW
Wave duration 1.00 s
Average energy 216.4 mJ
Heliotropism is when plants move in response to the direction of the sun.
structure in these crystals aren’t symmetrical but they still exist in an electrically neutral balance. However, if you apply mechanical pressure to a piezoelectric crystal, the structure deforms, atoms get pushed around, and suddenly you have a crystal that can conduct an electrical current
