Footstep Power Generation using Piezoelectric Transducers

Abstract

everywhere a person goes, some amount of energy is used by them. Since time is immemorial energy is needed for the well-being and sustenance of our lives. The utilization of waste energy used in the foot power is very much useful and important for place where there will be a huge crowd each day. When the flooring is engineered with piezoelectric technology, the electrical energy produced by the pressure is captured by floor sensor and converted to an electrical charge by piezo transducer, then stored and used as a power source. This power source is used in home application, street light, school and colleges.
