摘要:The Footstep Power Generation, here we proposed an advanced footstep power generator system that
uses the piezo electric sensors to generate power through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtain
while walking on a certain arrangement like stepping foot on a piezo tiles. This project describes the use of
piezoelectric materials in order to harvest energy from people walking vibration for generating and accumulating the
energy. The basic working principle of “footstep power generation system” is based on piezo electric sensors. When the
flooring is engineered with piezo electric technology, the electrical energy produced by the pressure is captured by
floor sensors and converted to an electrical charge by piezo-electric transducer. These sensors are placed in such a way
that it generates maximum output voltage. Our project model is cost effective and easy to implement.
In this paper the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy. The control mechanism carries the
piezo electric sensor, A.C ripples neutralizer, unidirectional current controller and 12V, 1.3Amp lead acid DC
rechargeable battery and an inverter is used to drive AC/DC loads. The battery is connected to the inverter. This
inverter is used to convert the 12 volt D.C to 230 volt A.C. this 230 volt A.C voltage is used to activate the loads. We
are using conventional battery charging unit also for giving supply to circuitry.
