ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to make a special mention of the following people without whose help this project would have not been completed. First we render our thanks to KISHORE .G to give us the strength for completing this project. We are grateful to Our Parents for their care, love, support and prayers. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude and thanks to Dr.G.George our General Secretary and Correspondent for his valuable thoughts and consistent encouragement.We like to acknowledge the support given to us by our and also special thanks to our Principal Dr. Arocky Raj for his guidance.Special thanks to the Dean of our college Dr Vasu Elaveetil for his guidance. We express our sincere gratitude to Mr.Suman Mishra, Head of the Electronics and Communication Department Engineering and our project coordinator Mr. Madhu for his valuable suggestions and technical guidance. We specially thank Mr. Suman Mishra, our internal guide for giving us an opportunity to do this project and also other staff members who gave us support, encouragement and suggestion which had helped to make the right choice at this juncture of our career.

ABSTRACT

In this project we are generating electrical power as non-conventional method by simply walking or running on the foot step . Non-conventional energy using foot step is converting mechanical energy into the electrical energy. This project using simple drive mechanism such as rack and pinion assemble and chain drive mechanism. For this project the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy. The control mechanism carries the rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and inverter control. The D.C generator used in this project is Permanent Magnet D.C generator. The Generator is coupled to the Ply wheel Shaft with the help of Spur Gear Mechanism. The Output of the generator is 12 Volts. This 12 Volt is stored in a 7 AmpHour Battery. The battery type is Lead-Acid battery The battery is connected to the inverter which is used to convert the D.C 12

 Volt to the 230 Volt A.C. By increasing the capacity of battery and inverter circuit, the power rating is increased.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MOTIVATION: Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and well being ever since he came on the earth a few million years ago. Primitive man required energy primarily in the form of food. He derived this by eating plants or animals, which he hunted.

With the passage of time, man started to cultivate land for agriculture. He added a new dimension to the use of energy by domesticating and training animals to work for him. With further demand for energy, man began to use the wind for sailing ships and for driving windmills, and the force of falling water to turn water for sailing ships and for driving windmills, and the force of falling water to turn water wheels. Till this time, it would not be wrong to say that the sun was supplying all the energy needs of man either directly or indirectly and that man was using only renewable sources of energy.

1.2 AIMS: The main purpose of our project is

1.The "Crowd would work something like this A responsive sub-flooring system would be placed under, say, the platform of a subway terminal. The blocks that make up the system would depress slightly under the force of human footsteps. As the blocks slipped against each other, they would generate power in the form of an electric current. 2. The electric current could be used, among other things, to light up signs about the energy created by the pedestrians, the creators say. People should understand the direct relationship between their movement and the energy produced," said cocreator Thaddeus Jusczyk. 3.While the Crowd Farm wouldn't work in the home (a single human step generates only enough power to light two 60-watt light bulbs for one second), it could really draw some power from a crowd producing thousands of steps.

CHAPTER 2 EXISTNG SYSTEM

Other people have developed piezo-electric (mechanical-to-electrical) surfaces in the past, but the Crowd Farm has the potential to redefine urban space by adding a sense of fluidity and encouraging people to activate spaces with their movement.

The Crowd Farm floor is composed of standard parts that are easily replicated but it is expensive to produce at this stage. This technology would facilitate the future creation of new urban landscapes athletic fields with a spectator area, music halls, theatres, nightclubs and a large gathering space for rallies, demonstrations and celebrations, railway stations, bus stands, subways, airports etc. like capable of harnessing human locomotion for electricity generation.

CHAPTER 3 PROPOSED SYSTEM

NEED FOR THE SYSTEM: Proposal for the utilization of waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is very much relevant and important for highly populated countries like India and China where the roads, railway stations, bus stands,

temples, etc. are all over crowded and millions of people move around the clock. This whole human/bio energy being wasted if can be made possible for utilization it will be great invention and crowd energy farms will be very useful energy sources in crowded countries. Walking across a "Crowd Farm," floor, then,will be a fun for idle people who can improve their health by exercising in such farms with earning. The electrical energy generated at such farms will be useful for near by applications.
