Energy crisis is a major concern in today’s world. As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy. The objective of footstep power generation project is to abstract renewable energy. If this project is installed in highly dense areas such as railway stations, clubs, parks etc. then maximum amount of energy can be abstracted from it. By simply walking on footpath, electricity is generated. Also we are adding piezoelectric crystal on the platform of the footstep to increase power output. This project consists rack and pinion assembly as a driving mechanism. In this project, force energy is converted into electrical energy. The control mechanism consists of the rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and inverter control. We have discussed the various applications and further extension also. So this project is implemented to all foot step, the power generation is very high.
