Abstract: The growing global population and technological advancements are leading to a sharp increase in energy demand. Simultaneously, energy is being wasted across various domains, particularly in transportation. Harnessing this lost energy and converting it into usable forms is critical for sustainability. This paper presents a novel system for generating power using the pressure exerted by tires of electric vehicles (EVs) via piezoelectric transducers. The generated energy is then wirelessly transmitted to charge EVs, utilizing resonant inductive coupling. This system not only helps recover energy from everyday driving but also offers a potential solution to energy wastage. Experiments demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, with power transmission efficiencies exceeding 90% at moderate distances. Key Words: pressure-based power generation, piezoelectric transducers, wireless power transfer, electric vehicles, resonant inductive coupling, energy harvesting.
