Green Energy Generation From Human Kinetics Using Piezoelectric Transducers

Abstract

Advancements in science and technology have significantly improved the way energy is harnessed in our daily lives. Recognizing the critical importance of electricity and the need for sustainable alternatives, this project explores the generation of green energy through human kinetic activity. The system utilizes piezoelectric transducers that convert foot pressure into electrical energy. When subjected to mechanical stress from footsteps, these sensors produce alternating current (AC), which is then converted into usable direct current (DC) through a bridge rectifier circuit. To enhance reliability, a backup mechanism is incorporated to ensure continuous power supply during periods of inactivity. This approach demonstrates a practical and eco-friendly solution for energy generation in high-footfall areas, offering potential for scalable deployment in public infrastructure and smart city applications..
