Next meetings:January 10, 2012
January 10, 2012 (Tuesday)
Topic:
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from Fluid Flow
Speaker: H. Dogus Akaydin, Research Assistant, The City College of New York
PDH: This presentation is approved for 1 PDH.
Metering systems in today’s large-scale buildings and plants often require wireless sensor
networks. Energy harvesting technologies liberates the sensors from batteries and wires, resulting in
tremendous savings in the maintenance costs. Piezoelectric materials can be used for producing
electricity from ambient vibrations to power these sensors. In this talk, first the energy harvesting
concepts will be introduced. Then the usage of piezoelectric materials for harvesting kinetic energy of
fluid flow will be discussed. Two design examples developed in the Aerodynamics Laboratory of The City
College of New York will be presented.
Time:
6:30 PM for Pizza. Presentation at 7:00PM.
Fees:
 NYSSPE members: $25; Non-members $40 (waived if
