Removing PIC reading display due to time and money constraints
Project Goals
To successfully create an energy harvesting device.
Successfully store energy in an energy storing bank.
To charge an electronic device via USB output.
Safely place energy harvesting device inside Baker Center at Ohio University.
Design Content
Division of Group
Mat Design Research and design an energy harvesting
device.

Group Project Hours
Hours to Date – 108 Hours Dr. Whaley and Baker Center Meetings – 48 Hours Research - 40 Hours Group Design Meetings – 20 Hours
Projected Hours – 192 to 222 Hours Dr. Whaley and Baker Center Meetings – 72 Hours Research – 40 Hours Group Design Meetings – 30 Hours Project Construction Hours – 50 to 80 Hours
Total Project Hours = 300 to 330 Hours
Updated VOC
Additional Stakeholder Sujit Chemburkar Executive Director Baker
University Center .Change in customer demand.
Mat Placement (Location & Time) Application Future use of technology
Value to The Customer
Our Method
Use piezoelectric coax cable to generate mechanical energy.
Surround the piezoelectric coax cable with a durable mat.
Have a storage device to store harvested energy.
The electricity will then be used to charge a small device using a USB port.

Budget
Spent Thus Far $0.00
Projected Costs Piezoelectric Material - $200.00 Mat Material - $100.00 Remaining Circuitry - $200.00
Summary What has changed.
Different design options Stakeholders Location Application
Future Steps. Acquire data from piezoelectric coax cable testing. Determine mat design and circuitry through collected data. Analyze Baker Center pedestrian flow for the best possible
location of mat. Order remaining project materials. Complete project prototype.
