Abstract

ABSTRACT This project explores the concept of piezoelectricity, where mechanical stress on certain materials generates electric charge. The focus is on harnessing energy from human footstep using piezoelectric sensors embedded in flooring. The study investigates the design, working principle, and real-world applications of this technology, aiming to contribute to sustainable energy solutions by converting kinetic energy into electrical power.
