Abstract

Generation of Electricity from the Doors of the Vehicles

Kapil Parashar*, Arvind Kumar and Dinesh Deshwal

In the pace of automobiles, machines energy requirement is increasing every-day to operate these automobiles and machines. Although there a number of electricity generation sources available but still the researchers, scientists and engineers keep searching new, cost effective and automatic electricity and energy generating sources. In this research paper one such technique for the generation of electricity has been proposed where the electricity has been produced using the piezoelectric fixed on the inner side of door underneath the sealer material lining of the door which also provides cushion to the door while closing the door. Piezoelectric has been fixed in cushion rubber pads on the inner side of the door of the four wheelers. The electricity produces when the door is slammed because due to the shutting of the door the piezoelectric underneath gets pressed and electricity produces with voltage ranging from 0-100 V depending upon the size, surface area exposing to the force applied, shape and the applied force on/off the piezoelectric which are available in ring, plate, cylindrical, disc shapes and in this paper only plate, cylindrical and the disc shape has been used. The electricity generated will charge the battery of the vehicle in comparatively less time as compared to the normal charging of the vehicle or this energy can be used for other applications in the vehicle. This research may also help to charge the extra batteries installed in the vehicle to meet the energy demand of the vehicle for various appliances.
