Power Generation through Human Locomotion

Abstract

One of the basic needs of today’s life is electric power. A large amount of electrical power is
needed for various operations. Energy demand is increasing linearly day by day along with
the increase in population. This paper focuses on the power generation from the increased
population without negatively affecting the environment. The foot step, walking and running
energy is converted into electricity with the help of piezo electric crystals. It is a nonconventional system in which mechanical energy from footsteps is converted into electrical
energy. This system can be implemented in many public places. By using piezo electric
crystals, the pressure of the footstep deforms the crstal and produced electrical energy as
output.
