Abstract :
The newest concept for the fulfillment of electrical energy for light vehicle is the reuse of waste energy. Reusable energy has several advantages such as cheap, safe, maintenance free, flexible, and can be used in various occasions. Energy conversion from vehicle pressure over wheel at the point of contact to the road surface using piezoelectric material is the best option for this purpose. With regular interval in the perimeter of wheel, number of cubic piezoelectric material used to make piezo-wheel which produce medium electrical power to run the vehicle as well as to operate other electrical and electronic equipments.
