Electricity is a basic need for everyone But electricity reaches only 65% of the
65% population also doesn't get continuous power supply and we still face power cuts

better alternative which is right under our feet .THE PIEZOELECTRIC ROAD
Piezoelectricity, discovered by
Curie brothers in 1880, originated from the Greek word piezenin, meaning, to press.
The original meaning of the
word piezoelectric implies Pressure electricity the generation of electric field from applied pressure.
axis (y) of a crystal and the charges are generated along the (x) direction, perpendicular to the line of force.
The amount of charge depends on
the 1. geometrical dimensions of the respective piezoelectric element. 2. The pressure applied.
incorporating piezoelectric generators in the roads we can convert the vibrations caused by the vehicles into useful electricity.
