How do you convert elastic energy into electricity energy?

Answer 1

Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. It is not a form of energy. Mechanical energy is needed to deform the material which stores this partially as potential (mechanical) energy, some is transformed to heat energy, which dissipates, and some is lost to entropy, as in all energy conversions. When the potential (mechanical) energy is released it can be used to drive an electrical generator to produce electricity, until the material returns to its original shape.

Answer 2

Elastic energy can be converted into electrical energy using devices such as piezoelectric generators, which utilize the mechanical stimulation of certain materials to produce an electric charge. When the material is deformed or compressed, it generates an electric potential difference that can be harnessed and stored as electrical energy. This process is commonly used in applications such as wearable technology, where motion or pressure can be utilized to generate power.
