Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Physics - Applied physics, grade: A, , course: Physics 212, language: English, abstract: Throughout our daily lives, humans waste a lot of energy. We exert a force on the ground while we walk, while we are driving, and during our many other daily tasks. Now the question is, how do we harness this energy? Our answer is with the use of Piezoelectric materials. Research and the creation of this project was to figure out how Piezoelectricity works and how to utilize it in everyday life. We decided that creating a piece of a highway would give us the most amount of energy. The equations, pictures, and other information was accumulated through different scholarly sources found on the internet and cited at the end. We used this information to help us understand and model what power output we could get from changing a section of a highway to include Piezoelectric material.
