NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY HARVESTING USING FOOT PRESSURE

Abstract

There is driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power- the footstep. In today’s world energy is the major resource in which we humans relay on. This project brings an idea to produce electricity by a non-conventional source. A Non-conventional energy using footsteps involves a process in which mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. This system becomes pollution free, eco-friendly and socially relevant by generating energy from non-conventional sources. It is designed to be applied in public areas where there is sufficient crowd such as complexes transportation hubs and schools. This system has to be placed at points where people travel through entrance or exit and they have to step on this device to get through. Then a voltage is generated on every footstep and when mounted in series they will produce a sizeable amount of electricity.
