Abstract
The goal of this work is to harness the wasted power from footsteps using piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensor is a transducer that produces electrical energy when mechanical energy is applied on it. In this work, thirty five piezoelectric sensors are connected in series/parallel and covered with a wooden board to form a foot mat which generates AC voltage when people step on it. Since the output is not continues, it is rectified and stored in a battery. The system has found significant use on roads, parks and variegated public space where energy from footsteps can be harnessed and transformed into harvested power.
