Energy saving and power saving are the basic requirement in this world. Power sources such as non-renewable&renewable sources are available but still energy and power disaster cannot be overcome. In this paper, one of the non conventional methods has been discussed known as walking or running on the footstep. Non-conventional method that is from foot step, kinetic energy from foot step is converted into the electrical energy. This can be possible with the help of piezoelectric transducer which convert the kinetic energy into the electrical energy [1]. The power generated floor intends to translate the kinetic energy to the electrical power. This power generating floor can produce 100W on just 10 steps, then for 100 steps, it produces 1000W and for 100 floors within the system, it will produce 1MW.

Abstract


Energy saving and power saving are the basic requirement in this world. Power sources such as non-renewable&renewable sources are available but still energy and power disaster cannot be overcome. In this paper, one of the non conventional methods has been discussed known as walking or running on the footstep. Non-conventional method that is from foot step, kinetic energy from foot step is converted into the electrical energy. This can be possible with the help of piezoelectric transducer which convert the kinetic energy into the electrical energy [1]. The power generated floor intends to translate the kinetic energy to the electrical power. This power generating floor can produce 100W on just 10 steps, then for 100 steps, it produces 1000W and for 100 floors within the system, it will produce 1MW.
