Abstract
The following paper discusses the importance of piezoelectric crystals and the area of application of the same in automotive sector. The primary focus of this paper is to present an analysis of the piezoelectric crystals and the extent they could support the main powering system by producing electricity that could help power the auxiliary system and reduce electrical loads on the engine in the vehicle. In order to understand the extent of usage of Piezoelectric crystals in the automotive sector in terms of electricity generation, a relation between force that acts on the crystal based on the location of the crystal and the electricity that the crystal produces is deduced. In this process the optimal location to place the piezoelectric crystal is analysed, this is followed by calculation of the amount of electricity that is generated over a period of time and that can used to support certain electrical components. Therefore, this paper thoroughly emphasizes on application of piezoelectric crystals in automotive industry to improve fuel economy. Index terms - Piezoelectric Crystals, Automotive, Auxiliary System, Electrical Loads, Fuel Economy.
