Abstract: In this paper, the design of a footstep-based power generation system using piezoelectric sensors is presented. The increasing demand for energy due to rapid population growth has led to the depletion of conventional power resources. Therefore, the utilization of renewable and alternative energy sources has become essential. This proposed system focuses on harvesting mechanical energy generated from human footsteps and converting it into electrical energy. The concept is highly suitable for densely populated countries like India and China, where public places such as railway stations, bus stands, and streets experience continuous human movement. By implementing this system, the mechanical energy produced during walking can be efficiently converted into usable electrical energy.
