Abstract
The objective this paper is the demonstration of electric power generation capacity using piezoelectric devices, these being excited by a flow of turbulent air simulating a stream of natural air flow. Demonstrating and explaining the generation of electricity through the oscillation of a flexible rod coupled to the piezoelectric pastilles when subjected to a turbulent air flow. Using the turbulent flow as a mechanical movement, the piezoelectric inserts coupled to a flexible rod will be subjected to a mechanical stress, thus generating an electric moment of intensity proportional to the stress applied to the metal plate by the turbulent flow of the air flow. Thus, through the mechanical efforts generated by the flow of air in the plate, it is possible to generate electric energy through the piezoelectric devices.
