Abstract

This technique aims to create electricity by creating footstep-powered systems. With the expanding demand for power, this technology intends to generate electrical energy to help fulfil those needs. This strategy can benefit crowded countries by effectively utilizing crowd energy, harnessing otherwise squandered human bioenergy. This generation device converts kinetic energy from footsteps into electrical energy. The control system comprises a piezoelectric sensor, an AC ripple neutralizer, a unidirectional current controller, a 12V, 1.3Amp lead-acid DC rechargeable battery, and an inverter for driving AC/DC loads. The battery is connected to an inverter, which converts the 12-volt DC into 230-volt AC. The 230-volt AC is then used to power a range of gadgets. Additionally, standard battery charging systems are used to power the electronics. The power-generating system uses foot steps for AC and DC loads and has limitations. Still, its potential for sustainable and renewable energy generation makes it a promising technology for the future. More study, investment, and development are required to increase its efficiency and applications.
