Feasibility Study for Using Harvesting Kinetic Energy Footstep in Interior Space

Harvesting kinetic energy is a method of generating electricity in a non-conventional way without consuming the traditional sources. In this paper a method is proposed to utilize human footstep wasted energy to generate electricity. This energy is harvested using piezoelectric sensors as an AC source. Thus, the footstep mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by the piezoelectric materials principal in a less cost-effective way. The electrical energy is generated simply by walking on the footstep.
