Upper Prosthetic Leg with harvesting equipments



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.
