This document describes an advanced footstep power generation system that converts wasted human kinetic energy from walking into usable electricity. It consists of an array of piezoelectric sensors that transduce pressure from footsteps into electrical voltage. This voltage is processed and stored in a battery. The system has applications in places with high foot traffic like train stations, airports, and streets. It provides a renewable and eco-friendly way to generate power without fuel inputs or moving parts.

Abstract
• Day by day, the population of the country increased and
the requirement of the power is also increased.
• At the same time, the wastage of energy also increased
in many ways. So reforming this energy back to usable
form is a major concern.
• As technology is developed and the use of gadgets,
electronic devices also increased. Power generation
using conservative methods becoming deficient.
• There is a need arises for a different power generation
method. At the same time, the energy is wasted due to
human locomotion.

• To overcome this problem, the energy wastage is
converted to usable form using the piezoelectric sensor.
This sensor converts the pressure on it to a voltage.
• By using this energy saving method, foot step power
generation system we are generating power. This power
source is used in home application, street lights , schools
and colleges.

Introduction
• An alternate method to generate electricity there are
number of methods by which electricity can be produced,
out of such methods footstep power generation can be an
effective method to generate electricity.
• In this topic, we are generating electrical power as non-
conventional method by simply walking or running on the
footstep.
• Walking is the most common activity in human life.
• When a person walks, he loses energy to the road
surface, through footfalls on the ground during every step.
• This energy can be tapped and converted in the usable
form such as in electrical form.

Methodology
• Interface and transducing
– Consists array of piezoelectric sensor.
– Kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
• Processing
– Here the generated degraded vibrating voltage will be
fed to different blocks of a circuit element to get a
proper output.
• Storage
– Resultant output will be stored in battery.
• This wastage of energy can be converted to usable form
using the help of piezoelectric sensor.

8
• The piezoelectric sensor is a device which can convert
pressure into voltage.
• We know that energy can be neither be created nor
destroyed but can be transformed from one form to
another.
• By using this energy conversion theorem and Piezo
theorem sensor we are proposing a new method for
power generation.
