Development of Floor Tile Power Generating Light Up LED

Abstract

Human has become increasingly reliant on technology, particularly electronic devices, over the last century. All electronic devices require power and currently worldwide facing the issue was continued depletion of fossil energy. This study will be discussing on harnessing the energy harvesting system via pressure. The main goal of this project is to show the concept of generating electricity from human footsteps using the concept of converting mechanical strain energy into electrical energy. Energy harvesting paves the way to pervasive, totally autonomous self-powered systems that do not require human involvement for energy replenishment. This project uses Piezoelectric (PZT) which produced energy when pressed. It also has an Arduino as a controller and a Blynk application to monitor how much energy is produced via smartphone. As a result, this initiative is both cost-effective and simple to implement, and it is one of the most promising approaches to solving the worldwide problem without diminishing natural resources.
