Collection of kinetic wind energy using piezoelectric materials

In order to address the environmental problem of waste from single-use energy sources, conventional, low-power, energy sources need to be replaced by alternative energy sources. According to recent scientific research, energy recovery facilities based on piezoelectric materials have the highest potential in this area. The aim of the project is to explore the applicability of piezoelectric materials in kinetic energy capture systems. During the project, the student will perform a theoretical study of the kinetic wind energy collection system based on piezoelectric materials, will produce a prototype (makeet) of the kinetic wind energy collection system, will conduct experimental studies to determine the optimal operating modes and efficiency of the system. After the implementation of the project, the student will acquire the competence of carrying out interdisciplinary relevant research, and will be able to apply the results of research in practical activities.
