Abstract
Eco Step Power-Gen" endeavors to revolutionize renewable energy generation by tapping into the latent kinetic energy from human footsteps and vehicular traffic on speed breakers. This pioneering project seeks to develop and deploy innovative technology capable of capturing and converting mechanical energy into electrical power. Through meticulous research, design, and testing phases, the project aims to assess the viability and effectiveness of energy generation from these unconventional sources. By integrating specialized equipment such as piezoelectric materials and kinetic energy harvesters into pedestrian walkways and roadways with speed breakers, the project endeavors to harness previously untapped energy resources. The overarching objective is to contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating carbon emissions associated with conventional energy production. Collaboration with urban planners, transportation authorities, and local communities will be pivotal in ensuring the seamless integration and scalability of this eco-friendly solution. By harnessing the power of human movement and vehicular traffic, "Eco Step Power-Gen" strives to pave the way towards a greener and more sustainable future. The Footprint design is powered by electricity generated by human steps and vehicle movement. The electricity generated is stored in the battery and is used to charge it. The electricity stored in the battery is used to charge the portable phone using the RFID card. The energy put away within the battery can be used to charge the phone. The Footprint framework is powered by the ESP8266 node MCU and includes the following components: Dynamo RFID sensor USB cable LCD display LCD driver (I2C).
