Abstract :
Energy harvesting is an attractive field, has the large potential application that attracts the concern of scientists. In this paper, one method of energy harvesting is performed using Piezo-composite generating element (PCGE) which can convert mechanical energy into electric energy. The experimental results were performed to show the advantage characteristics of PCGE that can be used as potential generator in collecting energy.
