2. Overview Energy harvesting Piezoelectricity Future outlook [1]

3. Energy Harvesting What is it? Macro scale- wind and solar Micro scale- electromagnetic and piezoelectricity [3] [2]

4. Piezoelectricity Deform to get voltage Apply voltage to deform [4][5]

5. Piezoelectricity What is it? Occurs in polycrystalline materials  (For example: Quartz, lead-zirconate-titanate, Rochelle salt, etc.) [4]

6. Piezoelectricity- Output Output always different High voltage, low current Sample output: [6]

7. Future Outlook [7]
