This article presents the possibility of using piezoelectric materials to efficiently produce electric energy by capturing lost energy, such as vibrations and movement, and converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The article explains the concept of piezoelectricity and shows how piezoelectric materials can be used in the street pavement to collect the micro-energy generated by heavy traffic. Thus, the practical implementation of this concept can lead to reducing the electricity consumption costs of a given structure. This prevents the use of piezoelectric materials as a viable solution for obtaining electric energy from alternative sources, contributing to protecting the environment and reducing energy consumption.
