Abstract
This paper proposes a new design of a vibration-based piezoelectric generator, utilizing mechanical energy within a rolling tyre. A thin piezoelectric ring is placed in the inner layers of the rubber tyres, so the stress is varying on the piezoelectric ring at the road and tyre interface. As a result we can get electric current; it would be used for charging batteries in vehicles. In this paper, we have reported the design and simulation of Piezotyres by COMSOL Multiphysics.
