 ABSTRACT

This work is on foot step power generation using piezoelectric sensor. 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

footsteps into electrical energy by using transducers. It can be implemented on roads, bus

stations and many public places. 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.

Keywords: Electric power generator, piezoelectric device, Footstep electronics tool,

hydraulic pressure, electrical energy.
