Introduction
In this project we are generating
electrical power as non-conventional
method by simply walking or running
on the foot step. Non-conventional
energy system is very essential at
this time to our nation.
Nonconventional energy using foot
step is converting mechanical
energy into the electrical energy.

 Man has need and used energy at an

increasing rate for his sustenance and wellbeingever since he came onthe eartha few
million years ago.
Due to this a lot of energy resources have
been exhausted and wasted.
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

 This whole human/ bio-energy being wasted if it

can be made possible for utilization it will be
great invention and crowd energy farms will be
very useful energy sources in crowded countries
This project uses piezoelectric sensor.
In this project the conversion of the force energy
in to electrical energy.
The control mechanism carries the piezo electric
sensor, A.C ripples neutralizer, unidirectional
current controller and 12V, 1.3Amp lead acid dc
rechargeable battery and an inverter is used to
drive AC/DC loads.

piezoelectric sensor
Apiezoelectric sensoris a
device that uses the
piezoelectric effectto measure
pressure,acceleration,strainor
forceby converting them to an
electricalsignal.

Lead Acid Battery

Specifications
12V 1.3Ah sealed lead acid battery
1. CE and RoHs
2. high quality and reliability
3. maintenance free
4. long life cycle
12V 1.3Ah sealed lead acid battery
General Features:
Sealed and maintenance free operation.
ABS containers and covers(UL94HB, UL94-0)optional.
Safety valve installation for explosion proof.
High quality and high reliability.
Exceptional deep discharge recovery performance.
Low self discharge characteristic.
Flexibility design for multiple install positions.

Working
When ever force is applied on piezo electric
crystals that force is converted to Electrical
energy is used to drive DC loads. And that
minute voltage Which is stored in the Lead
Acid battery. The battery is connected to the
inverter.
This inverter is used to convert the 12 Volt D.C
to the 230 Volt A.C. This 230 Volt A.C voltage is
used to activate the loads.
We are using conventional battery charging
unit also for giving supply to the circuitry.

Advantages
Reliable, Economical, Eco-Friendly.
Less consumption of Non- renewable
energies.
Excellent linearity over their dynamic range
Wide frequency

can

be

Compact yet highly sensitive

No moving parts - long service life
Self-generating - no external power required
Great variety of models available for nearly any purpose
Integration of the output signal provides velocity and
displacement

Applications
Foot step generated power can be
used for agricultural, home
applications, street-lighting.
Foot step power generation can be
used in emergency power failure
situations.
Metros, Rural Applications etc.,

CONCLUSION
The project FOOT STEP POWER GENERATION
FOR RURAL ENERGY APPLICATION TO RUN A.C.
AND D.C. LOADS is successfully tested and
implemented which is the best economical,
affordable energy solution to common people.
This can be used for many applications in rural areas
where power availability is less or totally absence.
As India is a developing country where energy
management is a big challenge for huge population.
By using this project we can drive both A.C. as well
as D.C loads according to the force we applied on
the piezo electric sensor.
