Abstract
In today’s world, the need for power is increasing at a very fast pace. The problem faced by lack of power may have a number of solutions and the generation of power using footsteps is among one of the infinite ways of producing renewable resources of energy. In this power generation method power is generated using force applied during walking, the piezoelectric sensors are used as the source of generation of power. In this model, the series connection of the piezoelectric is further connected to a circuit that helps in storing the power generated. This energy can be generated while walking on certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, stations, etc. and can be generated in any densely populated area for maximum efficiency.
