How much energy dose one step harvest? 

[PiezoEnergySolutions]

@ArcherJoeJoe This prototype harvest sufficient power to self-power its circuitry and the LEDs.

It sounds like a strange combination: crystals, water, and noise pollution. But scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that the mix can efficiently produce hydrogen without the need for a dirty catalyst like oil. By submerging a new type of PIEZO crystal in water, the scientists claim to be able to harvest hydrogen using vibrations from passing traffic and crashing waves.

Minimize, refine and market this. I thought of this, but on a grand scale, roads pavements kids playgrounds gyms the possibilities are literally endless. imagine a laptop powering itself because your tapping its keys to type. that might be a pipe dream now but with enough research, efficiency etc, you could be on to something.

can u show how to assemble with the basic components?

even me and my friends are thinking of implementing it....it would be very helpful

@stellarblur Cantilever Harvester....

@PiezoEnergySolutions What a bargain! How much does it cost per kilowatt hour? About £10,000? £50,000? I'll take ten!

How many steps can handle the prototype??? And what kind of battery are you using?

[hecanet]

Hello what type of Piezoelectric harvester do you have inside this design. Is is possible to source this in the market or is custom made?

you could just build this in to the suspension of cars!!
