FOOT STEP POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

In this foot step power generation project is designed to convert foot step, walking and running energy into electrical energy. It is used to generate electricity from by walking or running on foot step. The demand of electrical energy is increasing day by day. But power generation conventional resources are now not enough for total demand of electrical energy. Therefore many researchers and engineers are working on non conventional ways of electrical power generation. Foot step power generation system is also a non conventional electrical energy production system. It converts mechanical energy of foot steps into electrical energy by using transducers. This power generation system can become very popular among populated countries like Pakistan, china, India. It can be implemented on roads, bus stations and many public places. Although this system is little bit expensive, but it can make a huge difference in electrical power generation of country.

Foot step power generation system basically converts force energy of foot into electrical energy by using piezoelectric sensor. Piezoelectric sensor is transducer which converts force energy into electrical energy. I will discuss it in more detail in later part of this article.

FOOT STEP POWER GENERATION SYSTEM WORKING

Working of footstep power generation system consists of following main points:

Piezoelectric sensor interfaced with microcontroller and used as a transducer to convert force energy into electrical energy
It is consists of large number of Piezoelectric sensors connected in series. Kinetic energy of series connected transducers is converted into electrical energy.
Voltages generated by piezoelectric sensors are feed to circuit elements to get proper output.
Output energy is stored in batteries.
