 ABSTRACT

This paper presents an Electricity Generating Floor that is made to pursue the target of
producing electricity through transduction of stress generation by human footfall on the
surface where he walks. The EGF aims the smart use of material properties and public
gathering situations for efficient generation of electricity. EGF not only provides an efficient
source of energy but it is also a clean and pollution free environment. The benefit of
application of EGF will be that it is cheap and easy in installation. It will not make any effect
on the surrounding and as it is smaller in structure it could be installed anywhere. EGF uses a
principle which is completely harmless to the environment. It is a onetime installation and
will require a negligible amount of maintenance service thus making it more suitable source
of energy generation. This project acts as a transducer for converting stress generated by
human weight on the floor to electricity. Power generated from the thousands of visitors to
the public gathering places is stored and used for a variety of applications including
pedestrian lighting and advertising. The system is not noticeable and does not affect the
aesthetics of the area. EGF is noise free power source. Less skilled labour is required for
installation and maintenance. Power generated could be used for small requirements and
could cut the use of power generated by non-renewable sources of energy. The EGF could
also be used in dance floors, gyms, exercise machines etc. The dance floor could give
feedback to other systems that use electricity, such as the sound system, motivating the DJ to
outperform him/her by responding to the energy generated by the crowd. The floor can have
different platforms, providing unique visual experiences on every energy level. All visuals
will be a continuous real-time interaction between the clubbers on the floor made visible,
allowing every individual’s action to contribute to the collective experience. By utilizing the
energy which generally gets wasted the EGF project will be the best option for making these
public places independent from the conventional power sources and saving the non-
renewable material.
