    The document proposes a footstep power generator that uses piezoelectric materials to convert the mechanical energy of human footsteps into electrical energy. Piezoelectric materials generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress or pressure. In the proposed system, piezoelectric materials placed beneath footpaths produce electricity when people walk on them. The generated electricity can then be stored in batteries or capacitors and used to power devices. The system provides a sustainable and renewable source of energy without pollution or reliance on climate conditions.

    PROPOSED
    SOLUTION
    FOOT-STEP POWER
    GENERATOR
    A footstep power generator is a device
    that converts the mechanical energy
    of footsteps into electrical energy. It
    works by using piezoelectric materials
    or electromagnetic induction to
    generate electricity from the pressure
    and movement of a person's footsteps.
    As the person steps on the generator,
    it creates a mechanical force that is
    converted into electrical energy.
    METHODOLOGY
    ADOPTED
     A footstep power generator works based on
    the principle of piezoelectric effect.
    Piezoelectricity is the property of certain
    materials to generate an electric charge
    when subjected to mechanical stress or
    pressure.

     In a footstep power generator, when a


    person steps on a specially designed
    surface or mat, it compresses the
    piezoelectric material placed beneath it.
    This mechanical pressure generates an
    electric charge in the material, which is
    then stored in a capacitor or battery. 

     The amount of electric charge generated


    depends on various factors such as the
    pressure applied, the surface area of the
    material, and the characteristics of the
    EXPLANATION
     In this proposed system the use of
    embedded technology makes the
    system efficient and reliable.
    Microcontroller (AT89S52) allows
    dynamic and faster control. This
    Flowchart of the system project uses regulated 5V, 500mA
    power supply. Bridge type full wave
    rectifier is used to rectify the AC
    output of secondary of 230/12V step
    down transformer.
     The control mechanism carries A.C
    ripple neutralizer, and 12V, 1.3Amp
    lead acid rechargeable battery, we are
    using conventional battery charging
    unit for giving supply to the circuitry
    and an inverter which is used to drive
    AC/DC loads. The battery is
    connected to the inverter. This
    inverter is used to convert the 12 Volt
    Block diagram D.C to 230 Volt A.C. This 230 Volt
    A.C voltage is used to activate the
     Human-fuelled transport has been in presence since time immemorial
    through walking, running and swimming. However current
    innovation has prompted machines to upgrade the utilization of
    human control in more effective way. In this specific circumstance,
    footstep power is an astounding wellspring of vitality and has been
    being used through utilization of the most capable muscles in the
    body. Human dynamic vitality can be valuable in various ways
    however it can likewise be utilized to create power in view of various
    methodologies and numerous associations are as of now actualizing
    human controlled advances to produce power to control electronic
    devices.
    Algorithm of the proposed system
     Power on the model. Once the system is activated apply force the
    piezoelectric material the applied pressure is converted into
    electricity by the piezo transducer. An AC ripple neutralizer is used to
    remove the ripple content for which we make use of a bridge rectifier
    and a capacitor to store the spikes of current generated. The produced
    power is stored in a lead acid rechargeable battery. This stored power
    is used for various applications in different fields such as to charge
    electric vehicles, charging mobile phones, and many other public
    IV. SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION
    In order to program the Atmel microcontroller we will need an IDE (Integrated
    Development Environment), where the programming takes place. A compiler, where our
    program gets converted into MCU readable form called HEX files. An IPE (Integrated
    Programming Environment), which is used to dump our hex file into our MCUs.

    ADVANTAGES
    1. Sustainability: A footstep generator can generate
    electricity using renewable energy sources, such
    as the mechanical energy from footsteps, which
    makes it a sustainable source of energy.
    2. Low cost: Footstep generators are relatively
    inexpensive to produce and maintain. They do not
    require fuel, and the parts used to build them are
    often low-cost.
    3. Portability: Footstep generators are compact and
    easy to transport, making them ideal for remote
    areas or emergency situations.
    4. Versatility: Footstep generators can be used in a
    variety of settings, including public spaces,
    residential buildings, and outdoor areas.
    5. Energy efficiency: Footstep generators can be
    designed to be highly efficient, meaning they can
    convert a high percentage of the mechanical
    energy from footsteps into electrical energy.
    6. Noise reduction: Footstep generators can be
    designed to reduce the amount of noise generated
    by footsteps, which can be especially important in
    public spaces or residential buildings.
    LIMITATIONS
    1. Limited power output: The amount of electrical power that can be generated
    by a footstep generator is relatively low compared to other sources of energy.
    This makes them best suited for applications with low power requirements.
    2. Efficiency limitations: The efficiency of footstep generators is limited by the
    technology used to convert the mechanical energy of footsteps into electrical
    energy. As a result, some of the energy from footsteps may be lost during the
    conversion process.
    3. Surface requirements: Footstep generators require a suitable surface for
    generating electricity, such as a floor or ground surface that can withstand the
    weight and pressure of people walking on it. This limits their applications to
    areas with appropriate surfaces.
    4. Maintenance requirements: Footstep generators may require maintenance
    over time, particularly if they are located in public spaces or high-traffic areas.
    The components of the generator may wear out or require cleaning.
    5. Cost-effectiveness: The cost-effectiveness of footstep generators may vary
    depending on the application and the cost of the technology used to build
    them. In some cases, other sources of energy may be more cost-effective.
    CONCLUSION

    Footstep generators have the potential to be a sustainable


    and low-cost source of energy that can be used in a variety
    of settings. They have several advantages, such as being a
    renewable energy source, portability, versatility, energy
    efficiency, noise reduction, and enhancing user experience.
    However, they also have some limitations, including limited
    power output, efficiency limitations, surface requirements,
    maintenance requirements, and cost-effectiveness. Despite
    these limitations, ongoing research and development in this
    area could lead to improvements in their design and
    efficiency, making footstep generators a more viable source
    of clean energy in the future.
