In a growing world with escalating energy demands, Georgia Techtricity aims to apply piezoelectric technology to harness wasted mechanical energy in everyday actions and processes. Piezoelectric materials produce a voltage output when a physical stress is applied, allowing energy to be harnessed from a variety of scenarios. By quantifiably testing wasted mechanical energy in commonplace items such as doors, exercise equipment, and chairs, they hope to identify the ideal location to implement and optimize a piezoelectric device.
