Hi guys,
Lately, I have been researching ways to sufficiently using downward motion (or an up and down movement of mechanics) to generate an electric current which can be stored and used.
For the past few weeks, I have attempted using piezoelectric discs - which omit energy when mechanical stress is applied. However, through several trials, I have come to a conclusion that these discs discharge approximately 5v but only give out 0.001mA, therefore, unviable.
I thought about using electromagnetic induction, however, I am not sure if that would be the correct path to take. Any suggestions or further explanations would be appreciated.
