4. INTRODUCTION
 In this topic we are generating electrical power as non-
conventional method by simply walking on footstep.
 Walking is the most common activity in human life.
 When a person walks, he loses energy to the road.
 This energy can be tapped and converted in the usable
form such as in electrical form.

5. History
 The piezoelectric effect was discovered in 1880, by two
French physicists brothers Pierre and Paul.
 They took the name from the Greek word piezo, which
means "to press."

6. Conventional & Non-conventional
Energy Sources
Energy produced by coal, petroleum, natural
gas etc. are called conventional sources.
 where as the sources like biomass, wind,
solar etc. are called non conventional energy
sources.

7. AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
SOURCE
 The Challenge – convert
footstep energy to electrical
energy.
 The Solution – using
piezoelectric material.

8. piezoelectric sensor
A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses
the Piezoelectric effect to measure pressure,
acceleration, force by converting them to
an electrical signal.

9. NEED OF THE SYSTEM
 The utilization of waste energy of foot power with
human motion is very important for highly populated
countries.
 India and China where the roads, railway stations,
temples, etc. are all over crowded and millions of
people move around the clock.

11. WORKING
When ever force is applied on piezo electric crystals
that force is converted to Electrical energy is used to
drive DC loads. And that minute voltage Which is
stored in the Lead Acid battery.The battery is
connected to the inverter. This inverter is used to
convert the 12 Volt D.C to the 230 Volt A.C. This 230
Volt A.C voltage is used to activate the loads. We are
using conventional battery charging unit also for
giving supply to the circuitry.

12. APPLICATIONS
Foot step generated power can be used for
agricultural, home applications, street-lighting.
Foot step power generation can be used in
emergency power failure situations.
Metros, Rural Applications etc.

13. ADVANTAGES
Power generation is simply walking on step.
No need fuel input.
This is a Non-conventional system.
 No moving parts - long service life.
 Self-generating - no external power required.
Compact yet highly sensitive

14. DISADVANTAGES
Only applicable for the particular place.
Initial cost of this arrangement is high.
Output affected by temperature variation.

15. REAL-WORLD INSTALLATIONS
 Simon School for Boys –
UK
 Empire State Building -
US
 Panduit Corporation
World Headquarters – US
 Riverdale Country
School – US

16. CONCLUSION
 Smart system
 Produce 2000 watts of electricity.
 Durable
 Have a life of approx. 5 years.
