Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. The word Piezoelectric is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or pss, and piezo, which is Greek for “push”.

They have been successfully used in various applications, such as in medical, aerospace, nuclear instrumentation, and as a tilt sensor in consumer electronics or a pssure sensor in the touchpads of mobile phones. In the automotive industry, piezoelectric elements are used to monitor combustion when developing internal combustion engines. The sensors are either directly mounted into additional holes into the cylinder head or the spark/glow plug is equipped with a built-in miniature piezoelectric sensor.

Now, talking about implementing this effect at global and public level. One can imagine the large pssure exerted on roads by vehicles running on it. What if that pssure can be brought in use so as to overcome the current energy demand? This can be done by introducing piezoelectric effect in construction of roads and bridges. During the construction, piezoelectric materials along with Piezoelectric transducers acting as DC nanogenerators are placed under the tiles strong enough to bear the pssure applied by the vehicles. There is also a motor placed inside it which access the high voltage generated by the plates due to pssure and use it not only to light up the street lights but also can act as a great source of energy which can be widely used further. This idea can also be implemented on the dance floors of the clubs, benches of schools, chairs of any public places and even on the beds for small power generation.

The motive is to obtain pollution–free energy source and to utilize the energy being wasted.

Piezoelectric roads can be made in India but up till now there has been no implementation of such concept.

Some of the foreign companies are doing trials but didn't get success so far. But the output of this concept is huge and massive which can help in overcoming the energy crisis.

Piezoelectricity can be very useful to satisfy the increasing demand of the people and an interesting fact about this is that it is renewable and eco-friendly.
