Power Harvesting by Using Human Foot Step
Power Harvesting by Using Human Foot Step
M1 Gestion de l’énergie
Summary of:
In this projects we can see how using the mechanical energy, that we produce
when walking, could be transformed into an electrical signal that can be stored
and used.
This projects focusses on one such advanced method of energy harvesting using
could say that there is a direct relationship between the force applied on the
material and the voltage produced. This voltaje signal can then be stored and
Several methods have been proposed for the harvesting of energy from the use
In my opinion this type of energy has several advantages such as: provide a
cleaner way of powering lighting systems and other equipment. In the same way,
given that piezoelectric materials do not have high production costs. However, it
is noteworthy that even the fact that this is a clean and optimal type of energy,
the projects carried out were always made on a small scale, so that the production
From the above, three questions have raised, what is the limit of these materials?
Is it possible to use them on a large scale and to supply large amounts of energy?
