Harnessing Kinetic Energy from Vehicles for Sustainable Electricity Generation and Utilization.

The project aims to harness the kinetic energy generated by vehicles passing over roads embedded with piezoelectric materials to produce electricity. This innovative solution addresses the increasing demand for sustainable energy sources and helps reduce carbon emissions. The generated electricity can be used for various purposes, such as charging electric vehicles (EVs), powering streetlights, or being stored for future use. Objectives include creating a sustainable power generation method, promoting renewable energy usage, and advancing environmentally friendly transportation solutions. While a functional prototype has been developed to demonstrate the concept, practical challenges related to large-scale implementation on roads and the availability of piezoelectric materials remain to be addressed. The project highlights the potential of kinetic energy as a renewable resource and raises awareness of innovative technologies that support sustainability, ultimately aiming to enhance energy efficiency and environmental conservation.

The project has the potential to create a significant impact in several areas by contributing to sustainable energy generation and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. By harnessing the kinetic energy from vehicles traveling over roads embedded with piezoelectric materials, the project aims to generate renewable electricity for various uses, such as charging electric vehicles (EVs), powering streetlights, and providing stored energy for future needs. This approach could lead to substantial reductions in carbon emissions by offsetting the need for traditional energy sources that contribute to pollution. Additionally, the project raises awareness of innovative sustainability solutions, encouraging communities to think critically about energy efficiency and the potential of renewable energy in everyday applications. Overall, the project’s impact is both environmental and societal, promoting a cleaner energy future while fostering innovation in sustainable technologies.
