        abstract = {The Footstep Power Generation System presents an innovative approach to harvesting renewable energy from human footsteps using piezoelectric technology. By embedding piezoelectric sensors into walkways, staircases, mechanical energy generated through pressure is converted into electrical energy via the piezoelectric effect. The system incorporates rectifier circuits, voltage converters, a TP4056 charging module, and lithium-ion batteries (18650 cells) to efficiently convert, regulate, and store the harvested energy. This stored power can be used to operate low-power devices such as LED strips, sensors, and mobile chargers, especially in high-foot-traffic areas like malls, railway stations, and smart cities. The system is compact, eco-friendly, and scalable, offering a sustainable energy solution with minimal maintenance requirements. 
Despite challenges like low energy output per step, advancements in piezoelectric materials and efficient circuit design enhance its practicality. This project demonstrates the potential of human movement as viable energy source, promoting sustainable urban infrastructure and contributing to the development of smart, green cities.},
