Hi,
I am creating three individual series circuits. Is it possible to connect them together at their end points and put the one final wire through a transformer, rectifier, capacitor, and battery?
Thanks

Sure, why not..
If you would care for a better answer please ask a more complete question...

Sorry about that!
I am creating three series circuits that consist of piezoelectric sensors. It was intended that each series would be placed on an individual blade of a wind turbine. I think at the end of each series there would be some wires which I would like to connect to a step down transformer, then a full wave bridge rectifier, then a capacitor, and finally a storage device (battery). Is it possible to combine all three of the series' at their end points so that there will only be one transformer, rectifier, capacitor, and battery, and if so, how can I go about implementing this?
Thanks so much for the assistance. This is for a science project and currently I am not getting much help on technicalities. I'm not very educated in electrical engineering...

Are you using the piezoelectric sensors as generators?
Is the objective to generate power and store it?
(any data on the sensors?)

Yes they are being used as generators, and that is the objective.
I don't think that there is any data on them.

I think finding some useful data on the parameters of available piezoelectric devices is the first thing you need to do. Based on a quick search I did not see any devices capable of generation.
