 SOME STATS

The growth in electricity

Electricity consumption in 1. As in 2017, electricity consumption occurred in
the United States, which consumption remained stable in Asia (almost 80%, with
dipped by 1% in 2017, Europe in 2018 China accounting for nearly
recovered in 2018 (+2.2%) 2. Consumption declined in 60%)
France and Germany, stagnated in
other large countries (UK, Italy,
Spain)

1. Most of this increase came

from the residential sector
(+6.2%)
1.1This is due to increased
electricity consumption for BRICS Nations have

 THE CURATOR
 The CURATOR is a device which is made of
piezoelectrical crystals and plates, which deform
when force is applied to them and hence produce
current.
 The power generated from this is totally sustainable
and environment friendly.
 The power generated can be stored in batteries
using in the form of DC current.
 The cost of these crystals is gradually coming
down as more and more research is being done the
in the field.
 For the first time, researchers at the Indian Institute
of Science (IISc) have designed a ceramic material
capable of achieving an electrostrain value of 1.3 The Curator
percent—the highest for a ceramic to date and the
closest to the record set by single crystals. (2)

 HOW MUCH?
The expected energy output from footsteps
• Depending upon the place and function we can place•
the devices at various places and in varied numbers
so as to maximize the results i.e. the power output of
the system. • Expended energy (in terms of vehicles) =
• Also, if price is an issue, we can place these just at
the bottlenecks which will actually maximize the
power output of the system while minimizing the •
cost of implementation.
• Currently we are looking at a cost of about $75 to
$120 per square foot of flooring depending upon the•
final finishing cost of the floor, that ranges from
hard wood finish to concrete or other hard floors.

According to recent estimates a kilometer stretch
of the road, which has these crystals embedded
can produce on an average of 400kw of power.
(Gasoline Used) × (Energy Density of Gasoline)
× (Thermal Efficiency)
Expended energy (in terms of people) = (Energy
expense on walking) × (1-friction and other loss
of energy)
For bottlenecks the traffic would be higher both
in terms of vehicles and people hence we can say
a 100 m patch with embedded curators could
result in a similar power generation, which is
enough to power 400-500 Indian Houses.
 WHERE?
Walkways with high footfalls can
be identified, such as metro and
airport walkways, and devices can Walkways
be embedded at the bottlenecks to
maximize the output.

Stairs can be fully loaded with this

device so as to convert manpower
into Electricity, also people can be Stairs
motivated to use stairs by showing
them the impact that they make.
Areas in a
building with
High Human
Traffic
We can plant the device at the
counters of parking's where there Parking Lots
is usually a lot of stopping and
accelerating, thus converting this
waste energy into electrical energy

We can plant the device near the

the barrier of the toll plaza for
about 100m, where the vehicles Toll Plazas
generally brake a lot and this can
be used to produce power
 3 P ANALYSIS OF THE BIG IDEA

• People will be motivated to walk as they would see themselves making a

difference.
• The aim is to create buildings which support an active lifestyle.

• Kinetic energy is

• Organisations will
