| dc.description.abstract | The increasing reliance on conventional energy sources has resulted in
environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources. This project
proposes a sustainable solution by harnessing the mechanical energy generated
from human footsteps to produce electricity. Utilizing an Arduino Uno
microcontroller, a 16x2 LCD display, batteries, an inverter, voltage and current
sensors, along with gear, pulley, and belt mechanisms, the system converts kinetic
energy from walking into electrical energy, which is then stored for future use. The
system provides real-time monitoring of input voltage, load current, and power
output through the display. The principal goal of this research work is to face these
energy disasters, despite the fact that it won’t meet the requirements but at least to
vary and reduce the dependency on conventional electricity generation. This
innovative footstep energy harvesting system aims to offer an eco-friendly
alternative for small-scale power generation, with potential applications in energy
conscious environments and urban infrastructure. The thesis details the conceptual
design, working principles, system implementation, anticipated performance, and
possible real-world applications of the proposed mechanism. | en_US |
