Proposed Project Topic: FOOTSTEPS POWER GENERATOR

Overview of Project Topic (Not more than 150 words): Foot power generation is generated by human motion while walking on the
piezo electric sensor, which is pressed and produces Kinetic energy, which is then converted into electrical energy. The generated
energy is stored in a battery the energy in the battery can be utilise.
