Abstract: This project was developed to need for a system that generates non conventional energy. Energy crisis is one of the major issues worldwide. This paper proposes maximum utilization of human locomotion energy for power generation using Piezo electric sensors. The basic principle was, any vibration or pressure that generate between surface and footsteps while walking, is converted into electric energy using Piezo electric transducers. A series connection of Piezo electric transducers are mounted on the tile and this tile is placed in the crowded area for the generation of electric energy. This paper explores the power generated by footsteps and used for mobile charging.
