INTRODUCTION
1.We are generating electrical power in non-conventional method
by simply walking or running on the foot step.
2. Non conventional energy using foot step is converting
mechanical energy in to the electrical energy
3. The basic principle behind this system is piezoelectric effect
4. This generated power can be stored in batteries for future
useages.
PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT.
Piezoelectric Effect is the ability
of certain materials to generate
an electric charge in response to
applied mechanical stress.
PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL
Certain materials have the ability to build up an
electrical charge from having pressure and strain
applied to them. Piezoelectricity refers to the
ability of some materials to generate an electric
potential in response to applied pressure such
materials are called piezoelectric material.
Example: Quartz Belemnite Gallium
orthophosphate.
WORKING.
• The piezoelectric material converts the pressure applied to it into electrical energy.
• The source of pressure can be either from the weight of the moving vehicles or
from the weight of the people walking over it.
• The output of the piezoelectric material is not a steady one. So a bridge circuit is
used to convert this variable voltage into a linear one.
• Again an AC ripple filter is used to filter out any further fluctuations in the output.
• The output dc voltage is then stored in a rechargeable battery.
• The inverter is converts the DC into AC

 BATTERY AND INVERTERS
Battery
• BATTERY
• Lead- Acid Battery
• High quality and reliability
• Long life
• Maintenance free
Inverter
• Inverter is an electric device that coverts
direct current DC in to alternating current
AC
• The converted AC can be at any required
voltage and frequency with the use of
appropriate transformers , switching and
control circuits
 ADVANTAGES
• ADVANTAGES
• Non conventional method, renewable energy source
• Eco friendly
• Reliable
• Self generating – no external power required
• Less maintenance cost
• Ultra low noise
• An alternative way of power generation
 DISADVANTAGES.
• Initial cost is too high
• Implementation is difficult
• Less maintenance , but difficult
APPLICATION.
• Footstep power generation can be used in
emergency power failure situations
• It can be used for Agricultural ,Home applications ,
Street lighting and etc…
• Metros and Rural application
CONCLUSION
• Footstep power generation system is economical,
affordable energy solution to common people
• It can be used for many application in rural areas
where power availability is less or totally absence
