This document presents information on generating electric power from footsteps using piezoelectric materials. It begins with an introduction to piezoelectric materials, which generate electric charges when pressure is applied. It then discusses how piezoelectric sensors in the footstep generator convert the mechanical energy from footsteps into electrical energy. The document outlines the basic components of the footstep generator, including the piezoelectric sensors, microcontroller, power supply, and storage battery. It concludes by discussing some applications for footstep power generation in emergency situations, agriculture, homes, and public areas with heavy foot traffic.

4. In this topic we are Generating Electric Power as non
Conventional method by simple walking on Footstep.
Non Conventional energy using footstep is
converting Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy.
This energy can be tapped and converted in the
usable form such as in electric form.
Basic Principle behind this system is Piezoelectric
Effect.

 They took the name from the Greek word Piezo, which means
“to press”.
 Certain material have the ability to build up an electric charge
from having pressure and strain applied to them.
 Piezoelectric refers to the ability of some materials to generate
an electric potential in response to applied pressure such
materials are called Piezoelectric Material

o The piezoelectric material converts the pressure
applied to it in to electrical energy.
o The source of pressure can be either from the
weight of the moving vehicles or from the weight of the
people walking over it.
o Again an AC ripple filter is used to filter out any
further fluctuation in the output.
o The output DC Voltage is then stored in a
rechargeable battery.
o The inverter is converts the DC into AC.
