A piezoelectric generator structure disposed between an upper platform and a lower platform that includes a lower piezoelectric pad, an upper piezoelectric pad, and a connecting shaft. The lower piezoelectric pad coupled to the upper piezoelectric pad via the connecting shaft, where the lower piezoelectric pad is configured to compress under a downward motion of the upper platform during a compression movement due to an additional load being applied to an existing load on a top surface of the upper platform, where the lower piezoelectric pad produces a first voltage due to the compression movement. The upper piezoelectric pad configured to compress under an upward motion of the upper platform during a rebound movement of the upper platform, where the upper piezoelectric pad produces a second voltage due to the rebound movement. The generator structure configured to provide the first and the second voltage to a coupled power storage unit.

Piezoelectric based pallet generator for device charging

A faraday generator structure disposed between an upper platform and a lower platform, where the faraday generator structure includes a magnet, a coil structure, and a guide shaft. The magnet, of the faraday generator structure, coupled to the guide shaft configured to pass through an inner aperture area of the ring structure during a compression and rebound of a dampener positioned between the upper platform and the lower platform, where a voltage is produced as the magnet passes through the inner aperture area of the ring structure. The dampener, of the faraday generator structure, configured to compress under an additional load applied to an existing load on a top surface of the upper platform. The faraday generator structure configured to provide the voltage to an electrically coupled power storage unit.
