Design Foot Step Power Generation Using Micro Controller

Whenever people walk on foot step, they loss their energy, we have design such a mechanism in which we have used this waste energy to generate electricity. Foot step electricity generation as such is not a new concept. There were many attempts in the past pneumatics, piezoelectric materials etc, but all of them proved very costly and were not practically feasible in day-to-day real life. The persons, who are walking on foot step are applying the impact force or thrust on the spring loaded stair case steps. This impact pressure energy can be utilized to operate the energy flywheel through unit-directional ratchet arrangement using chain and sprocket wheel drive. The flywheel, which stores the energy and utilizes it for continuous rotation, rotate alternator that generate electricity. It is best use of non conventional source of energy, saving of coal and water for generating electricity, eco friendly, simple mechanism, easy for installation, easy for maintenance. It can be used on railway station, airports, shopping mall, jogging parks. The project is developed keeping in mind the idea of generating electricity from non-conventional means, which is free from pollution and can be used directly in real life, i.e. it is not just a concept but a future.
