Abstract

This technology uses non-renewable resources like the sun's heat and the wind's vibration to create and store electrical power for later use. This energy harvester is employed in wireless sensors and electrical equipment. We wish to replace our present energy sources with a new one. A novel approach to harness human population power has been developed. Walking so often drains your vitality. Unused energy might be transformed into electricity to fulfil our requirements. A piezoelectric substance generates electricity when compressed. Mechanical components, including piezoelectric generators, are coupled in series. Microcontroller controls programmable circuit. It generated electricity when walked on. To maintain voltage, we'll need a battery. This power may be stored in a lead acid battery for DC use. This might help walkways, stairs, and other high-traffic areas. Piezoelectric sensors monitor voltage and current. It generates energy when walked on. Because voltage is created so quickly, batteries are needed. Lead acid batteries store energy as DC power sources. This project uses human energy to create power.
