Abstract

The intention of this project is to analyze the amount of electrical energy can be harvesting from piezoelectric power generator that installed in a shoe during walking or jogging and applied the generated energy to power up Light Emitting Diode (LED) that had been installed in a sport shoe and at the same time will provide a safety purpose to a user while walking or jogging in a night time.Moreover,the mechanical energy harvesting from human motion will be scavenging by using a piezoelectric and the generated energy where be analyzed.Furthermore,this project is about to study the energy produced by a piezoelectric during walking or jogging related with the maximum number of piezoelectric can be installed in a shoe with measured the energy produced.Besides,the connection of the piezoelectric in a shoe either in parallel or series connection also will the analyze from this project and the purpose of this analysis is to measure the optimum energy produced from a piezoelectric during walking or running associated the connection of the piezoelectric.In short,this project can save our environment because did not used any chemical substance to produce this project and make it this project is a green technology.The harvester from this project provides 5.53 mW during walking or jogging at a frequency of roughly 1.3 Hz.In a nutshell,a direct current (DC) power supply is built through integrating the harvester with a power converter circuit.This project should consist but not limited to the power generator and the power conditioning circuit.
