Abstract

Electricity serves as a lifeline for people in this era. Various operations of modern world technology necessitate a large amount of electric power. The demand for electricity is growing every day, and the human population is also increasing. As technology advances, new ways of harvesting energy for a different power generation method emerge. This project is focusing on generate electrical power from sunlight and human footsteps. This two-power source is environmentally friendly to our ecosystem. The concept behind this project is to harvest and convert the wasted energy from human locomotion in the environment, as well as solar energy, into electrical energy. Piezoelectric sensor is design with other components in a series parallel combination which convert the kinetic charge into electrical charge using the piezoelectric effect. The data collected revealed that the piezoelectric sensor's voltage is directly proportional to the number of step forces applied, and that the solar panel produced more power between 11 am and 2 pm. As a result, this prototype can charge and store electrical energy in a battery to be used later. In this project, a non-traditional method was using to generate electrical power by simply walking or running as an input source, as well as harvesting solar energy from the sun. When used in congested areas such as train station and shopping malls, this method proves to be extremely beneficial.
