ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectrostatic generator includes a plurality of elongated piezoelectrostatic elements having first and second ends, with the first ends fixedly mounted in a cylindrical housing and the second extending radially inwardly toward an axis. A shaft movable along the axis is connected to the inner ends of the elements to produce bending forces in piezoelectric strips within the elements. Each element includes a pair of strips mounted in surface contact and in electrical series to produce a potential upon bending, Electrodes spaced from the strips by a solid dielectric material act as capacitor plates to collect the potential charges.
