Hello Everyone,
I am currently working on a project to use piezo-sensors to generate energy in order to charge a battery. Through research I have found that it is possible to use a capacitor to build up charge equivalent to voltage the battery being charged so that it discharges therefore recharging the battery slowly of course (extremely slowly) but surely. If I am in correct I hope you can give me an answer on how to do so. I was thinking to do this I could have a reference battery connected to a comparator along with the capacitor on the other end so that once the charge builds up to the voltage of the battery, and then that charge is released and sent through to the battery to be charged. Thank you for your time, and if there are any questions in order to develop a solution, I am happy to answer them.
