Study of Foot Step Power Generator Akashdeep Gupta1 , Sheetal Gadekar2 , Vipul Jain3 akash.deepgupta@yahoo.in,sheetalgdkr02@gmail.com,vipuljain09@rediff mail.com Department of Mechanical engineering CDGI, Indore1 Research Scholar Department of Mechanical Engineering BMCT, Indore2 Department of Mechanical engineering CDGI, Indore3 Abstract—Walking is the most common activity in day to day life. When a person walks, he loses energy to the road surface in the form of impact, vibration, sound etc, due to the transfer of his weight on to the road surface, through foot falls on the ground during every step. This energy can be tapped and converted in the usable form such as in electrical form. In order to develop a technique to harness foot step energy, we planned a foot step electricity generating device with a new mechanism. This device, if embedded in the footpath, can convert foot impact energy into electrical form. The working principle is simple. When a pedestrian steps on the top plate
