This document describes a student project that aims to generate electrical energy using piezoelectric materials in response to footstep force. The project seeks to address Pakistan's issue of power demand exceeding supply by providing an alternative pollution-free energy source. It will incorporate a piezoelectric transducer, battery, microcontroller, and LCD display. The timeline outlines literature review, software/hardware design, and report writing over several months. The objectives are utilizing wasted human energy through 'crowd energy farms' and generating power without fuel or noise/pollution. The expected outcome is a system that uses footstep voltage to run loads and shows sensor output/battery parameters on an LCD.

3. Problem statement
 In Pakistan the demand is more than the daily energy produced so we are
facing power-cut after approximate 1 hour and industries are in hell these
days. People uses rechargeable batteries (UPS) or diesel/petrol engine to
fulfill their demands. The use of stand by generator is common in
industries and large offices.We will generate electrical energy using
piezoelectric material (which convert Mechanical stress into Electrical
Energy) and will control the output with microcontroller.

9. FYP Objective
 Human/bio-energy being wasted if
it can be made possible for
utilization it will be great invention
and crowd energy farms will be very
useful energy sources in crowded
countries.
 Pollution less generation
 Noise less generation
 Fuel less
