Do you ever heard about

conversion of sound
energy
to electrical energy?

Example?

Micro Phone

Sound
Form of vibrational energy that propagates
through all mediums except in vacuum.

Which material will

convert
sound energy to
Piezo electrical?
electric material

How it works ?

When the material is

Stressed, the mechanical strain
energy gets converted
into electrical energy

What happens when stress is applied?

Do the all piezo electric material will

convert sound energy to electrical
energy?

NO

Materials like quartz, bone, DNA could

not able to convert as they are formed
naturally

But artificially materials like zinc oxide

( commonly known as calamine lotion),
Lithium niobatet etc..,

How Generally current produces?

Methodologies suggested
Method 1:

Force (sound)

Method 2:

Sound

Heat

Electricity

Method 3

Sound

Piezo Electric

Electricity

How much energy could we produce?

For Each 100 dB we get 0.5V

1000 dB

5 Volts

y this voltage we can easily charge our home applianc

ke mobile etc..,

where can we harvest sound ?

every where around us ..

Industries
Thermal plants
Nuclear plants
Explosions

Roads
Auditorium

Conclusion :
Sound is not continuous form of energy source and
difficult to harvest but with help of piezo electric
material it can be over come.
