Abstract

Nowadays,electronic technologies have been growing up so fast and required a lot of electrical power consumptions. Battery is the most convenient power source for these electronic devices and have becoming one of the most important things in everyday life.However too dependent on battery may not be the ultimate solution as battery has limited lifespan.So,energy harvesting is one of the alternative way in producing energy.Energy harvesting or also known as power harvesting which derived or capture from ambient energy.The major challenge for energy harvesting is low output and which may not be sufficient to power up electronic device.Therefore,this project is to design and develop a battery-less electronic floor based on human foot step impact force using piezoelectric.This project will recover the kinetic energy from human steps impact and convert into electrical energy via conditioning circuit involving rectifier.Piezoelectric has the ability to generate AC voltage when force is being applied.The project consists of one floor tile which is embedded with a combination of a series parallel of piezoelectric that is capable to generate more than 5-volt DC after rectified at a force given which is more than 200N and able to power up a transmitter circuit to send a bit of data to the receiver circuit.
