Design of Piezoelectric Tiles for Electricity Generation using Human Footsteps

  • Abstract:
  • This project focuses on designing and developing piezoelectric tiles that generate electrical energy from human footsteps. The system uses piezoelectric materials that create an electric charge when they experience mechanical stress from foot pressure while walking. By integrating piezoelectric sensors into floor tiles and connecting them with the right power conditioning circuits, we can convert the mechanical energy from everyday human movement into usable electrical energy. The generated power can be stored in batteries or capacitors and used for low-power tasks like lighting, sensors, and display systems in public areas. This method provides a sustainable, eco-friendly, and renewable energy solution, especially in busy places like railway stations, shopping malls, and sidewalks, helping to conserve energy and support green technology.
