Abstract :
Day by day the use of electricity has been
increasing, hence it is necessary to generate electricity
using a nonconventional system for conserving natural
resources. Here we propose an advanced power
generation system using footsteps. The system consists of
piezoelectric sensors, Arduino UNO, LCD Display, PIC
microcontroller, voltage boosters, battery, LDR and a
socket for mobile charging. When the footstep pressure is
applied on the piezoelectric sensor, it generates voltage,
which in further generates electrical power. The sensors
are placed in such an arrangement so as to generate
maximum output of voltage. This is then provided to our
monitoring circuit. By using this system, maximum
voltage obtained is 22 Volt per step and minimum 1 Volt
per step. By observing the footsteps at railway station, the
power generated by piezoelectric sensor in 24 hours is
approx. 78.4Volts.
