A Paper on Foot Step Energy Production
Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for the sustenance and well-being since time immemorial. Due to this a lot of energy resources have been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is very much relevant and important for highly populated countries like India where the railway station, temples etc., are overcrowded all round the clock .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 transducers, then stored and used as a power source. And this power source has many applications as in agriculture, home application and street lighting and as energy source for sensors in remote locations.
Foot Step Power Generation by Using Piezo Electrical Material
Power crisis is being one of the major topics to be discussed. The possible solution for this is to provide considerable amount of power using adaptable renewable resources. Among these resources, human population is the only abundant and perennial resource that has not been utilized. If a suitable method is available, expected amount of power can be tapped out from this resource. We have presented the idea to utilize human locomotion power to produce electricity and also we have designed a method named Foot Step Power generation. Now a days energy and power are the one of the basic necessities regarding this modern world. As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy. But these renewable energy sources must have to be adopted in practical manner by keeping an eye on all aspects regarding the research work. So then these techniques should be applied in order to get the desired output. In case of our project we have used the technique of power generation through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtained while walking on to the certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, plate forms and these systems can be install elsewhere specially in the dense populated areas.
Power Generation Using Footsteps
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022
Abstract: Some quantity of power is utilized by us anyplace we go. Since time is immemorial power is wanted for the health and sustenance of our lives. The usage of waste power used withinside the foot energy could be very a great deal beneficial and crucial for the vicinity wherein there might be a big crowd every day. When the floors are engineered with piezoelectric technology, the electric power produced via way of means of the stress is captured via way of means of the ground sensor and transformed to an electrical via way of means of the piezo transducer, then saved and used as an energy supply. This energy supply is used withinside the domestic application, crowded regions like railway stations, streetlights, schools, and colleges. The Footstep Power Generation, right here we proposed a complicated footstep energy generator device that makes use of the piezoelectric sensors to generate energy via footsteps as a supply of renewable power that we will attain at the same time as...
An Investigation on Generation of Electricity Using Foot Step.
International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology, 2014
Nowadays energy and power are the one of the basic necessities regarding this modern world. As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy. But these renewable energy sources must have to be adopted in practical manner by keeping an eye on all aspects regarding the research work. So then these techniques should be applied in order to get the desired output. The objective of this work is power generation through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtained while walking on to the certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, plate forms and these systems can be install elsewhere specially in the dense populated areas. The basic working principle of ‘footstep power generation system’ is based on the crank shaft and gear arrangement and fly wheel. So in order to implement this foot step power generation system we adjust the wooden plates above and below the sensors and moveable springs, when we walk on the mat than automatically force is applied and as a result magnet fixed under the top wooden sheet and moves into the cavity. As this cavity is fixed at bottom wooden sheet of mat so between the moveable springs adjusted between the top and bottom sheets. As a result of completing the above procedure or technique we made ourselves able to design such compatible system through which we could run our home appliances through AC output. As our main purpose was to charge the battery through DC output and then by inverting it into AC for normal common usage. Thus as a result we have concluded that these types of designs and techniques of power generating systems are very useful and handy in order to match the supply and demand of energy globally as well.

— In this paper we have presented the design methodology of electrical power generation using foot step for urban area energy applications. Man has needed energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and well being ever since he came on the earth. Due to this lot of energy resource have been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of waste energy with foot power human locomotion is very much relevant and is very important for highly populated countries in INDIA and CHINA, where the roads, railway stations, bus stands and temples are overcrowded and millions of people moving around the clock. By using such principle the energy can be utilized in the whole area where the mechanical energy is being converted to electrical energy
Generation of Electrical Power through Foot steps
2014
Even if the planet doubled the amount of solar and wind power available tomorrow, there would still be a shortage of clean electricity. We need to grab energy from wherever we can find it, which is why piezoelectricity the charge that gathers in solid materials like crystal and ceramic in response to strain has recently begun to pique the interest of entrepreneurs and scientists alike. One of the most popular uses for piezoelectricity in the past few years relies on roads and sidewalks. The present project deals with the generation of electricity through traffic pressure by placing piezoelectric generators on the roads the axial load of the traffic pressure deforms the generator and thus produces the electric energy as an output, this output may use for the street lighting, and many more aspects.
Power Floor Generating Energy by Walking
2016
In recent scenario, the demand for energy has been increasing at an alarming rate and there has been a decrease in the availability of energy resources. For sustainable development, the need of the hour is to develop more efficient, pollution free and renewable energy resources to meet the unending demands. Our paper is one such attempt to generate electrical energy from footsteps. The method being employed by us is using piezoelectric crystals. The idea is to develop a “Power Floor” which is actually a floor that can produce electricity when stepped upon. In this paper we have reviewed various concepts and methods of energy harvesting from a piezoelectric crystal.
Power generation and its use is one of the issues. Now-adays numbers of power sources are present, non-renewable & renewable, but still we can't overcome our power needs. Among these human population is one of the resources. In this project we are doing generation of power by walking or running. Power can be generated by walking on the stairs. The generated power will be stored and then we can use it for domestic purpose. This system can be installed at homes, schools, colleges, where the people move around the clock. When people walk on the steps or that of platform, power is generated by using weight of person. The control mechanism carries piezoelectric sensor, this mechanical energy applied on the crystal into electrical energy. When there is some vibrations, stress or straining force exert by foot on flat platform.
