Footstep Power Generation Overview

This document discusses two projects: 1) An automatic room light controller that reduces power consumption using sensors and a microcontroller. 2) A system that generates electrical power through footstep power using piezoelectric sensors and stores it in a battery. The room light controller counts visitors and controls lights to save energy. Footstep power generation converts the wasted energy of walking into usable electrical power through piezoelectric crystals and magnetic repulsion. Both aim to provide more efficient energy solutions.

REDUCTION

OF POWER CONSUMPTION
&
FOOT-STEP POWER GENERATION
CONTENTS:
● Introduction
● Requirements and Steps to develop
● Benefits
INTRODUCTION
● Now a days we are mostly coming with a problem-
consumpting more power.
● We are seeing in our houses, colleges, schools fans and
lights are kept on still there is no one inside.
● To reduce the power usage we came up with a solution
designing our project
“ Automatic Room Light Controller with Visitor Counter”
● This consists of 2 modules
– Digital Visitor Counter
– Automatic Room Light Controller
● Parts To Be required:-
[Link] counter
● This circuit can count numbers from 0 to 9999 in up and
down modes depending upon state of selector
● It can be used to count the number of persons entering
into the room and number of persons leaving the hall by
decrementing.

2. Relay interface
● These are essential for the functioning of automated
systems.
● It transmits digital signals to the controller by amplifying
and isolating output signals

[Link] Controller
●
Uses in automated system
Benefits
● It costs less and ease of connection
● Reduce installation time
● Last for long time
INTRODUCTION

● Here we are generating electrical power as non-


conventional method by simply walking on
footstep.
● Walking is the most common activity in human life.
● When a person walks, he loses energy to the
road.
● This energy can be tapped and converted in the
usable form such as in electrical form.
ABOUT FOOT-STEP POWER
GENERATION:

● Need of the system


● Working
● Benefits
● Conclusion
Conventional & Non-conventional
Energy Sources

● Energy produced by coal, petroleum, natural


gas etc. are called conventional sources.
● where as the sources like biomass, wind,solar
etc. are called non conventional energysources.
piezoelectric sensor

● A piezoelectric sensor is a
device that uses the
Piezoelectric effect to
measure pressure,
acceleration, force by
converting them to an
electrical signal.
Piezo Electric Sensor
NEED OF THE SYSTEM

● The utilization of waste energy of foot power with


human motion is very important for highly
populated countries.
● India and China where the roads, railway
stations,
temples, etc. are all over crowded and millions of
people move around the clock.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
● 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
[Link] 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.
Magnet repulsion also responsible to the production
of current.
– When we arrange magnets to the piezo electric
sensors in like poles movement,it causes continues
production of power.
– We can produce more power by generating
magnetic repulsion and store the energy as storing
in solar panels.
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.
