INTRODUCTION
• Power generation by footsteps is an innovative and sustainable
technology that harnesses the mechanical energy created by human
footsteps and converts it into electrical energy. This method aims to
capture energy that is otherwise wasted during human movement
and use it to power various devices or systems. This technology is
commonly integrated into public spaces, like sidewalks, train stations,
or stadiums, to generate small amounts of energy for lighting,
sensors, and other low-power applications.
OBJECTIVE
• Sustainable Energy Generation:
• To utilize human kinetic energy for generating clean,
renewable electricity, reducing dependence on non-
renewable power sources.
• Promoting Eco-Friendly Technologies:
• To contribute to the development of sustainable cities and
smart infrastructure by integrating renewable energy
technologies in everyday environments.
APPLICATION:
•Sustainable Energy Generation:
•To utilize human kinetic energy for generating clean, renewable
electricity, reducing dependence on non-renewable power
sources.
•Energy Harvesting in Urban Spaces:
•To install energy-harvesting systems in high-traffic public areas
such as sidewalks, train stations, airports, and stadiums,
helping to power lights, sensors, or small electronics.

ARDUINO UNO
The Arduino Uno is one of the most
popular microcontroller boards in the
Arduino family, designed for ease of use in
building interactive electronic projects. It
serves as the foundation for learning and
creating with electronics, allowing
individuals to experiment with sensors,
actuators, and other components while
developing simple or complex systems.
Arduino Uno is an open-source platform,
which means the hardware and software
are freely available, enabling users to
modify and expand upon the designs.
LCD I2C DISPLAY MINI BREADBOARD
An LCD I2C Display is a type of liquid crystal display A Mini Breadboard is a small, reusable, and
(LCD) that uses I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) versatile platform used for prototyping and
communication for controlling the display. I2C is a testing electronic circuits without the need for
communication protocol that allows multiple devices to soldering. It allows for easy connections and
communicate over just two wires (SDA - Serial Data modifications, making it ideal for hobbyists,
Line, and SCL - Serial Clock Line), making it an ideal engineers, and students working on small
solution for applications where saving space and electronic projects. Breadboards are commonly
reducing the number of wiring connections is used to build temporary circuits for testing and
important. An I2C LCD display typically refers to a 16x2 debugging before finalizing designs on printed
or 20x4 character display, meaning it can show 16 or 20 circuit boards (PCBs).

CONCLUSION:
Power generation through footsteps, also known as piezoelectric energy
harvesting, presents an innovative and sustainable approach to harnessing
energy from human movement. By capturing the mechanical energy from
walking or foot traffic, this technology converts kinetic energy into electrical
energy, providing a potential source of power for low-energy devices.
This technology is especially useful in environments where conventional energy
sources may be unavailable or impractical. Applications include smart flooring
systems, public infrastructure (such as train stations, airports, and shopping
malls), and wearable devices. The system typically relies on piezoelectric
materials (like piezo discs) to generate electricity when pressure is applied,
making it a green and renewable energy solution.
