Upper Prosthetic Leg with harvesting equipments
There is a plan
to embed some piezoelectrics
inside the socket area including the
hitting harvesting kit. The complete set
would be moulded as part of the
material for the upper prosthetic leg.
The harvesting circuit for using with the hitting mechanism consists of hitting
hands, cores and low energy consumption motor. This test kit can have a variation speed to find the maximum delay time to create the maximum
vibration in the PZT blade.
Four sets of PZT piezoelectric connects as series to
produce more power from harvesting energy. Four capacitor banks are used as storage energy tanks for power which
produce from PZT piezoelectric.
