Abstract:
Research on electrical energy harvesting from vibrations, repetitive impacts and bending of structures by means of piezoelectric materials has been done quite extensively in the recent years. With looming shift from fossil fuels to electric cars in the near future, the same knowledge could be applied in automotive car tires to harvest energy that can help power an increasing number of onboard devices as the technology matures. This paper sought to develop a functional car tire model with PZT elements and use it to model the power generated by a single element at different angles and varying forces. This information was then used to develop a predictive model that can be used to estimate the total harvestable piezoelectricity from such a tire. This was achieved by first connecting 12 pieces of 25mm diameter and 0.3mm thick discs together to form an array then binding them together to form a patch of size 115mm by 160mm. This patch was placed in a 185/70R14 tire between the tire carcass and an introduced inner tube. From the series of tests explained in this paper, the power output for each layer of piezoelectric discs was found to be given by pTot= 1.787q^2/10^6 + 5.276q/10^4-5.025/10^2 Where pTot is the power output and q the force at the contact point.
