SOURCE REDUCTION Purchasing longer tread-life tires, rotating and balancing tires every 4,000 miles, and keeping tires at their recommended air pressure levels are the best ways to reduce the number of scrap tires.
Vehicle tire wasted energy refers to the energy that is lost when a tire deforms during motion on the road. Piezoelectric energy harvesters can convert this wasted energy into usable electric energy. Researchers have attempted to transduce these energies by installing harvesters close to the tire–road interaction.
This mechanical and thermal energy, typically dissipated as heat and vibration, represents a significant untapped energy resource in modern vehicles. The fundamental challenge lies in converting tire deformation and thermal gradients into usable electrical power while maintaining tire structural integrity and performance characteristics.
Electric energy harvesting tire using studs that generate electricity as they deform in the tire tread. The studs are fixed in grooves and have piezoelectric elements at their bottom. As the studs move with the road, the piezoelectric elements convert the deformation into electrical energy.
Tire self-supply energy-collection charging device that eliminates the risk of car energy loss, power consumption burden and personnel's mileage anxiety, increases duration, and optimizes personnel experience of going on a journey.
The smart tire has piezoelectric modules attached to the inner surface of the tire that generate electricity as the tire deforms during rotation. The modules are connected in parallel arrays around the tire to maximize deformation and power output. The harvested AC voltage is rectified, stabilized, and stored in an energy element.
The results demonstrate that the harvester can conserve a significant portion of tire strain energy, thus generating an output electric energy and voltage of approximately 5 mW and 7 V, respectively, when subjected to a force of 500 kgf and a vehicle speed of 41 km/h.
