Take short breaks while doing the drilling, this way the drill bit will remain cool. Avoid speeding in the beginning if you are a beginner. Keep the drill machine straight, and apply a normal downward force. The ferric chloride acid solution making and etching processing is explained in the video giveN at the end of this Article.Īfter transferring the Design on Copperplate and etching the final board looks like this.īe very careful, if you are drilling for the first time and don’t forget to wear protective glasses, because this drill bit can easily break, For the beginners I suggest to use both hands, use one hand to hold the drill machine and another hand to hold the PCB and to support the other hand.
Finally, we prepare the Ferric chloride Acid solution and start the etching process. Then we dip the PCB plates in the water and wait for around 5 minutes. We take a print out of the PCB design and transfer the design on the copper plate using Hot Iron. This software can be downloaded freely, from the official website of the Cadsoft eagle.ĭownload the Original PCB design of the Piezoelectric Generator: peizoelectric circuitĪfter everything is set. The PCB “Printed Circuit Board” is designed in the Cadesoft Eagle 9.1.0 version the download link is given below. Using a smaller value capacitor can speed up the charging process.Īs these piezoelectric sensors generate current which is extremely low, so it really doesn’t matter which value diodes are you using. These piezoelectric sensors will be used to charge a 6.3v 2200uf capacitor. So all the piezoelectric sensors are connected in parallel. the cathodes of all the diodes are connected together, and all the ground legs of the bridge rectifiers are connected. The positive leg of the bridge rectifier is connected with the anode of the 1n4007 diode. A piezoelectric sensor is connected with the ac input legs of the bridge rectifier. Piezoelectric Generator, Piezo Sensors Connections:Īs you can see the connection diagram is really simple.
For the full discussion, making and explanation refer to the video given at the end of this Article.
This Tutorial also explains how to get rid of the negative voltages produced when the piezoelectric sensor is pressed and then released. I would appreciate your support in this way! I may make a commission if you buy the components through these links. The output of all the 72 piezoelectric sensors are connected in parallel to improve the current. These 72 piezoelectric sensors are divided among 4 PCB plates, so each PCB plate has 18 sensors. In this project, a total of 72 piezoelectric sensors are used.
Piezoelectric Generator is a power generation based Project based on the Piezoelectric sensors.
