Abstract
Here we propose an advanced footstep power generator system that uses
piezo sensors to generate power from human footsteps. The system allows for a
platform for placing footsteps. The piezo sensors are mounted below the platform to
generate voltage from footsteps. The sensors are placed in such an arrangement so as
to generate maximum output voltage. This is then provided to our monitoring
circuitry. The circuit is a microcontroller based monitoring circuit that counts the
number of steps applied on the weighting plate and the voltage across the capacitor in
the rectifier circuit. Then it displays all this
information on an LCD screen. Keywords:
