Review Paper on Power Generation by Footsteps

Global environmental issues and shortage of fossil fuel available are major concerned in today’s world. Due to this focus has been turned to renewable energy sources like wind energy solar energy & tidal energy. They are becoming more and more popular all over the world due to many advantages associated with them. Our project concentrates on generation of electricity through a very cheap source i.e. air by a sophisticated mechanism. The objective of this project is to convert potential energy of human footsteps into electrical energy. The project consists of a setup consisting of mechanism to compressed air in foot pumps through human footsteps energy thus converting it into compressed air. This compressed air is then stored in the air tank of sufficient pressure, then this compressed air gets impacted on turbine coupled with D.C. generator through a high pressure nozzle. The D.C. generator generates D.C. voltage which gets stored in battery. This D.C. voltage gets converted into A.C. voltage by an inverter circuit.

Electricity is the most general forms of energy used across the world. This paper focuses on designing a setup that leads to the generation of electrical energy which is going to waste when humans are walking. Footsteps are an untapped natural resources. This generated energy is, however, cost-effective and nonhazardous for human. Electrical energy can be produced by converting mechanical energy using footsteps. Generating the electric power through the fabrication of footstep arrangement by a prototype comprises of a pipe, nozzle, unidirectional valve, water reservoir, turbine, and DC motor. Whenever pressure is exerted on the reservoir, water flows through the nozzle into the turbine and generates electrical energy. This energy is stored in the battery. This project will reduce the global warming and load shedding in a much cleaner cost-effective way. Since this project is related directly to the human movement, the weight of the setup is a crucial factor. Introduction The process of producing electrical power from different types of energy sources is called electricity generation. This type of energy is an essential part of nature. We generate electricity (secondary energy source) by converting primary sources of energy like atomic, gasoline, coal, and other natural sources. Fossil fuels pollute the environment. Atomic power plant requires careful handling of both raw as well as waste material. From the birth of earth, man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate prior to his existence. The world has already used large amount of energy resources for power production. The extensive usages of available resources in recent years created a demand for the future generation (Magdum, Chikhale, Rajole, & Jedhe, 2017). After realising the availability issues of the non-renewable sources, the renewable sources of energy like wind, water, and sun are being consistently and increasingly used by people to generate power. Therefore,

Due to the rapid depletion of the main fossil source of energy (oil), it is vital to search for other sources of energy. Also, the global pollution due to traditional sources of energy moves scientists to search for other sources of green energy. One sustainable and green source of energy is the power generation from the human footsteps. This research work aims to design and test a simple device that converts the kinetic energy of the human footsteps to electrical energy. This device may be used in all crowded spots with a big number of pedestrians such as mosques, churches, underground stations, theaters, stadiums, etc. This technique of energy harvesting is suitable for such applications as street lighting, advertising billboards, and information displays. The device was efficiently designed, fabricated and tested.

Nowadays energy and power are the one of the basic necessities regarding this modern world. As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy. But these renewable energy sources must have to be adopted in practical manner by keeping an eye on all aspects regarding the research work. So then these techniques should be applied in order to get the desired output. The objective of this work is power generation through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtained while walking on to the certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, plate forms and these systems can be install elsewhere specially in the dense populated areas. The basic working principle of 'footstep power generation system' is based on the crank shaft and gear arrangement and fly wheel. So in order to implement this foot step power generation system we adjust the wooden plates above and below the sensors and moveable springs, when we walk on the mat than automatically force is applied and as a result magnet fixed under the top wooden sheet and moves into the cavity. As this cavity is fixed at bottom wooden sheet of mat so between the moveable springs adjusted between the top and bottom sheets. As a result of completing the above procedure or technique we made ourselves able to design such compatible system through which we could run our home appliances through AC output. As our main purpose was to charge the battery through DC output and then by inverting it into AC for normal common usage. Thus as a result we have concluded that these types of designs and techniques of power generating systems are very useful and handy in order to match the supply and demand of energy globally as well.

The energy problems today combine these issues: much of the world's population has too little energy to meet basic human needs; the monetary costs of energy are rising; the environmental impacts of energy supply are growing and already dominant contributors to global environmental problems. Confront with global energy problems will require greatly increased investment in improving the efficiency of energy end use and in reducing the environmental impacts of contemporary energy technologies. It will require financing a transition over the next several decades to a set of more sustainable and renewable energy sources. Truth be told, we can see that everyone considers the human is the main reason for many problems especially which related to energy and environment. In the following paragraph, I’ll point out the importance of Life Energy as a solution of energy problems. In streets, malls, buildings, clubs, gym, also at homes.
