Producing electrical energy?

It's been long time and boring as well, leaving this blog because I have nothing to write on..

I'm being calculating material take off for a project of the company where I work. But, this been on hold, well shit happens. Anyway, I come with this idea to forget my job for a while.

How to convert sound wave into electrical energy?
it must be nice to make a generator from noise... LOL
What I'm saying right here is about converting and, hence, producing, just like what you learn in Energy conversion Lab at 2nd year class for those whose major is electrical or mechanical engineering.

So, its completely different with the idea of "sensing" which is also converting sound energy into electrical pulses, usually performed by sensors or transducers.

In this generator case, we can roughly apply the following equation of conservation of energy:

Electrical energy = Sound energy + energy wasted during conversion, like heat.

Any idea?
or perhaps I should read more, ehehehe

Great Appreciate to those who have an idea like mine and would like to share with me.

finally… hardware circuit…

I been totally confused of my own final project for the last 2 months until he came with the circuit...
well, I don’t know if I was disappointed or just too stupid to engineer a system. After finding out that this PLC works only with logical I/O then the connection problem could be only solved with the hardware… ahahaha… waw..
so at the first place I imagined that I was gonna design a nice control system in a nice plant system (I mean the analog one). But, now I know that in order to perform (even) such a simple research I have to make sure that I comprehend the whole component of plant, not only the control theory. ahahah.. I mean  they are both important and I missed the first one.
I was dreaming of building a simple fuzzy control system in a gantry robot but in fact i can only build On-Off. I didn't say that this method is bad for the default purpose of the gantry robot, but for several developed analog pick and place with high accuracy it would rise an oscillation problem. And even if I had simulated fuzzy control on a 2nd order with no significant oscillation during the transition yet I couldn't say that the fuzzy control could really work without oscillation in this real gantry robot. This is really nice experience, finding out that the reality is much boring than what written on the book. ahahaha
back, to the circuit. Confusing with OPC programming made me decide to take a hardware solution for PC-PLC connection… ahahah… I don’t even build the circuit, cuz I never had experience in electronics, ahahah…. the problem rise from this solution is DELAY of the I/O response. well, at least that’s what my experienced in this robot.

commanding PLC without using PLC input ports. how?

Well actually I should be writing a progress report to my lecturer about my final project, but I can’t wait to write something on this peaceful blog. LOL. Since Azam told me that I haven’t written for more than a month. I’m not like him, I’m not kinda man who has alotta ideas to write on, except for writing shameful stories. LOL (which I’m quite good at).
