Various review and research papers focus on the piezoelectric devices, their operation and application for oceanic energy conversion. Piezoelectric oceanic wave energy converters (OWECs) have several benefits over the others such as its small size, lightweight, no requirement of using intermediate device as well as having less negative impacts on the oceanic environment. Recently, electrical engineers are paying great attention to develop oceanic wave energy conversion technologies based on the piezoelectric materials because of their excellent conveniences. Throughout the experiment, correlations of generation volume and wave conditions have been found. Hydrographic analysis of this technique has been conducted by hydraulic model experiment using 2D wave flume and confirmed that the wave pressure and voltages maximize when higher wave with longer period of wave induces. Throughout the study, usability of the existing coastal structure and characteristics of current research trend in the ocean wave energy retrieval of the wave power generators have been analyzed. This technique of using piezoelectric sensor is relatively inexpensive that can be used for economic purposes as well. This technique can be applied to various coastal structures to converge the functions of renewable energy generator and the wave reducing structure. By installing the sensor to the structure, waves will hit the piezoelectric sensor to generate wave energy at the same time, the structure acts as a wave breaker. This, along with the other benefits mentioned above, are the reasons CK Physiotherapy elected to go with Piezowave 2 as our preferred shockwave technology.The characteristics of a new wave power generating system have been proposed by installing a piezoelectric sensor to the seaward position of an existing coastal structure. ![]() Shockwave therapy works! However, the studies that have compared radial vs focused SWT have largely concluded that focused shockwave therapy has an advantage. In contrast, focused shock wave therapy delivers the greatest amount of energy into a focused point at a determined depth in the body and penetrates accurately into deep tissue layers (from 5mm to 40mm) where the problem actually is.īoth radial and focussed forms of shockwave therapy have been proven effective. Within a penetration depth of 5-10mm, a practically undetectable dosage impacts the tissue. The maximum effect of radial shock waves is therefore at the surface of the skin, with dissipating levels penetrating into the tissue. ![]() The result is the pressure wave first impacts the skin, moving divergently or spreading (not focused) through the body. Radial shock waves are generated using mechanical energy from a simple mechanical hammer. The key differences of focused shock wave therapy are derived in the way in which it is delivered. * Trigger points can be diagnosed and specifically treated * Independently adjustable penetration depth and intensity setting * Well defined, precise focus – perfect for diagnosis and therapy * Direct focusing piezoelectric technology for minimal pain during treatment There are several important benefits of a focused ESWT using the Piezowave 2 Therapy device: It does not.Īs it turns out, the entire research on the effectiveness and mechanisms of shock wave therapy was originally done using focused shockwave technology - the kind of shock wave generated by piezoelectric technology. Until recently I was under the impression that radial shock wave therapy, the technology more commonly used by many other practices, involves the same principle as the focussed shock wave (ESWT) described in the original literature.
