Footstep Power Generation
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
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.
