Footstep power generation is a method of renewable energy harvesting that utilizes the mechanical power of footsteps to generate electricity.The primary objective of this study was to design an economical, environmentally friendly, and efficient way of generating power using footstep power generation technology, particularly in areas of high foot traffic like railway stations, shopping complexes, colleges, and footpaths.The footstep power generation system utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction to generate power using the footstep pressure on the footstep platform, which compresses the springs and rotates the DC generator to generate electricity.The footstep power generation system comprises springs, DC generators, rectifiers, voltage regulators, batteries, and an Arduino-based monitoring system to measure the voltage output from the system.It was found that the voltage output increases with increased pressure and frequency of footsteps.This technology is efficient in generating power to operate low-energy electronic appliances like LED lights and mobile phone chargers.The study confirms that footstep power generation technology is viable, economical, and environmentally friendly.It is efficient to harness the wasted energy through the installation of footstep power generation technology in areas of high foot traffic.
