Study of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Floor Structure with Force Amplification Mechanism

This paper proposes a novel energy harvesting floor structure using piezoelectric elements for converting energy from human steps into electricity. The piezoelectric energy harvesting structure was constructed by a force amplification mechanism and a double-layer squeezing structure in which piezoel...
