The energy crisis is the main issue of the world these days. The motto of the research work is to face the crisis. Nowadays the demand for electricity is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to solve this problem is to use renewable sources of energy. In this project, we are generating electricity using non-conventional techniques. In this project, when human walks surrounding, some force is applied on the surface of the piezo sheet, this force can be used to generate electricity. The piezoelectric crystal has crystalline structure & ability to convert mechanical stress into electrical energy.

The piezoelectric system converts mechanical energy into kinetic energy and the kinetic energy is converted into electricity by applying pressure on the piezoelectric crystal. The less power is generated in case of parallel configuration of piezoelectric crystal. Therefore, this paper deals with the method of generating maximum power from piezoelectric system by striking weight from different height and comparing the result at different height. It is observed that the generation of current from piezoelectric crystal varies from height to height. Thus, it is required to determine the critical height from which the maximum power is generated by striking weight on it.

The measurement of magnification in the electron microscope is always troublesome especially when a goniometer stage is in use, since there can be wide variations from calibrated values. One elegant method (L.M.Brown, private communication) of avoiding the difficulties of standard methods would be to fit a device which displaces the specimen a small but known distance and recording the displacement by a double exposure. Such a device would obviate the need for changing the specimen and guarantee that the magnification was measured under precisely the conditions used.Such a small displacement could be produced by any suitable transducer mounted in one of the specimen translation mechanisms. In the present case a piezoelectric crystal was used. Modern synthetic piezo electric ceramics readily give reproducible displacements in the right range for quite modest voltages (for example: Joyce and Wilson, 1969).

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is an instrument that can be used to image many samples of interest in biology and medicine. Images of polymerized amino acids, polyalanine and polyphenylalanine demonstrate the potential of the AFM for revealing the structure of molecules. Images of the protein fibrinogen which agree with TEM images demonstrate that the AFM can provide topographical data on larger molecules. Finally, images of DNA suggest the AFM may soon provide an easier and faster technique for DNA sequencing.The AFM consists of a microfabricated SiO2 triangular shaped cantilever with a diamond tip affixed at the elbow to act as a probe. The sample is mounted on a electronically driven piezoelectric crystal. It is then placed in contact with the tip and scanned. The topography of the surface causes minute deflections in the 100 μm long cantilever which are detected using an optical lever.
