This project entitled “Heavy Bag Embedded with Piezoelectric as an Energy Storage Device for USB-Based Mobile Devices” aims to integrate an energy harvesting system into a heavy bag for energy harvesting and generate electrical power when the bag is hit. The study coversdeveloping a prototype utilizing a heavy bag for energy harvesting. The system will provide power to charge USB-based mobile devices. Also, an indicator whether the device is charging, full charge or discharging is provided. The energy harvesting system comprises of piezoelectric disk transducers that produces energy when stress is applied, an energy harvesting module circuit that processes the energy from the transducers, a 5V DC to DC boost converter and a 4400mah Power Bank that will store the harvested energy and provide the charging indicator. The results of the study were that utilizing the energy harvested from the system will take approximately 48 hours of charging to fully-charged the power bank.
