Abstract
This work delves into the practicality of generating electricity through piezoelectric methods from pedestrian movement, aiming to provide a renewable energy alternative. It particularly targets the effective placement of sensors to transform the kinetic energy from human steps into electrical energy, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic. The study prioritizes enhancing efficiency, improving longevity, and fine-tuning the methods for sensor deployment. This evolving area offers significant opportunities for breakthroughs, contributing substantially to solving worldwide energy issues. The research introduces a system for charging a capacitor, which includes an LED to indicate the charging status and to signal when the capacitor reaches full charge. To assess the system's efficiency, the research calculates the energy production by monitoring the number of steps required to fully charge the capacitor. This work offers a significant solution to the world's energy problems by suggesting a way to turn human movement into power in an eco-friendly way.
