Advance Footstep Power Generation

Abstract

This research paper presents the design, development, and testing of a footstep power generation system that harnesses energy from human footsteps. The system consists of a set of piezoelectric sensors placed under a walking surface, which converts the mechanical energy of footfalls into electrical energy. The generated power is stored in a battery or can be directly used to power electronic devices. The design of the system takes into consideration factors such as the size and placement of the piezoelectric sensors, the energy conversion efficiency, and the overall durability and reliability of the system. Experimental testing of the system was conducted using a custom-built prototype that was installed in a high-traffic area. The results of the testing show that the footstep power generation system is capable of producing a significant amount of electrical power, which can be used to power low-power electronic devices. The system is highly efficient, with a conversion rate of over 80%, and is capable of generating up to 10 watts of power per step. The footstep power generation system has potential applications in a variety of settings, including public spaces, transportation hubs, and sports facilities. The system can also be integrated into wearable devices, providing a sustainable source of power for mobile electronic devices. This research represents an important step towards developing sustainable energy solutions that utilize human motion and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions.
