AUTOMATIC WIPER USING PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL

Pallavi Saha

Abstract: Piezoelectric Material’ is a boon to the modern world where scarcity of resources is major problem. The project is all about running the wiper of a vehicle by using piezoelectric effect. In this process, a circuit is build using components like piezoelectric material, capacitor, relay and wiper motor. The circuit runs automatically when the rain drops presses the piezoelectric material which generates electricity, which in turn is stored in capacitor till a required voltage, is reached to close the relay system to run the wiper motor. This process helps us to utilize the kinetic energy of the rain drops which would otherwise have gone wasted in the form of heat energy, sound energy and vibratory energy

Keywords: Piezoelectric Effect, Transducer, Sensor, Wiper.
