CHAPTER-3
INTRODUCTION
3.1 General
Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and well being ever since he came
on the earth a few million years ago. Primitive man required energy primarily in the form of food. He
derived this by eating plants or animals, which he hunted. Subsequently he discovered fire and his energy
needs increased as he started to make use of wood and other bio mass to supply the energy needs for
cooking as well as for keeping himself warm. With the passage of time, man started to cultivate land for
agriculture. He added a new dimension to the use of energy by domesticating and training animals to work
for him. With further demand for energy, man began to use the wind for sailing ships and for driving
windmills, and the force of falling water to turn water for sailing ships and for driving windmills, and the
force of falling water to turn water wheels. Till this time, it would not be wrong to say that the sun was
supplying all the energy needs of man either directly or indirectly and that man was using only renewable
sources of energy.
3.2 Need For Non-Conventional Energy
Fuel deposit in the world will soon deplete by the end of 2020. Fuel security will be maximum. Country
using petroleum will not have the chance to use petroleum products. Keeping this dangerous situation in
mind, we tried to make use of non-pollutant natural resource of solar energy.
The creation of new source of perennial is environmental acceptable. Low cost electrical energy as
replacement for energy from rapidly depleting resources of fossil fuels is the fundamental need for the
survival of mankind.
We have oil resources for about 25 Yr. And coal reserves for about 75-100 Yr. Resort to measure the
beginning of coal in thermal electric. Power station to service the population would result in global
elementary change in leading to worldwide draught and desertification. The hazards of nuclear electric
power station are more & huge.

13. 13
Now electric power beamed directly by microwave for orbiting statuette. Solar power stations (s.p.s) provide
a cost effective solution every through many certain have extensively proceed work on solar photo voltaic
and solar thermal electric energy resources.
Earth based solar power station suffer certain basic limitation. It is not possible to consider such system and
meeting continuous uninterrupted concentrated base load electric power requirement.
Today, wind energy is the most mature of the renewable energy technologies apart from hydro. This wind
technology is much safer than other renewable energy source. In the wind mill a wind turbine is used where
wind turbines - capture the air flow by converting it into a rotational movement, which subsequently drives a
conventional generator for electricity.
In this project we are generating electrical power as non-conventional method by simply running on the train
in the foot step. Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this time to our nation. Non-
conventional energy using foot step needs no fuel input power to generate the output of the electrical power.
This project using simple drive mechanism such as rock and pinion assemble and chain drive mechanism.
For this project the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy. The control mechanism carries the
rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and inverter control. We have discussed the various applications and
further extension also. So this project is implemented to all foot step, the power generation is very high. The
initial cost of this arrangement is high.
3.3 TYPES OF ENERGY RESOURCES
- conventional energy sources
- Alternative energy sources
3.1.1 CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES
Primary energy sources can be defined as sources which provide a net supply of energy coal, oil, uranium
etc., are example of this type as shown in fig. The energy required to obtain these fuel is much less than
what they can produce by combustion or nuclear reaction. The supply primary fuel is limited .It becomes
very essential to use these fuel sparingly. Example: Coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear energy.

14. 14
Fig 3.1 Non-Renewable Energy
3.1.2 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES
It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. These alternatives are intended to address
concerns about such fossil fuels as shown in fig. The nature of what constitutes an alternative energy source
has changed considerably over time, as have controversies regarding energy use. Today, because of the
variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as "alternative"
is highly controversial.
In a general sense, alternative energy as it is currently conceived, is that which is produced or
recovered without the undesirable consequences inherent in fossil fuel use, particularly high carbon dioxide
emissions, an important factor in global warming.
Fig 3.2 Renewable Energy
Question that every time comes before every country i.e. the need of non-conventional energy sources or
systems. Why we need these systems and the answers are the growing consumption of energy has resulted in

15. 15
the country becoming increasingly dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil & gas. Rising prices of oil and
gases and their potential shortages have raised uncertainties about the security of energy supply in future,
which has serious repercussions on the growth of the national economy. The main factor is increasing use of
fossil fuels also causes serious environmental problems.
Hence there is primary need to use renewable energy sources like solar, wind, tidal, bio-mass and
energy from waste material.
For an alternate method to generate electricity there are number of methods by which electricity can be
produced, out if such methods footstep energy generation can be an effective method to generate electricity.
Walking is the most common activity in human 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. This device, if embedded in the footpath, can convert foot impact energy
into electrical form.
Human-powered transport has been in existence since time immemorial in the form of walking, running and
swimming. However modern technology has led to machines to enhance the use of human-power in more
efficient manner. In this context, pedal power is an excellent source of energy and has been in use since the
nineteenth century making use of the most powerful muscles in the body. Ninety-five percent of the exertion
put into pedal power is converted into energy. Pedal power can be applied to a wide range of jobs and is a
simple, cheap, and convenient source of energy. However, human kinetic energy can be useful in a number
of ways but it can also be used to generate electricity based on different approaches and many organizations
are already implementing human powered technologies to generate electricity to power small electronic
appliances.
Now let us come to its some working principle, this device if embedded in footsteps of railway
platforms, city malls, city footpaths etc. can convert the weight impact of people into electrical energy.
When a pedestrian will step on the top plate of this device, the plate will go down and this downward motion
results in rotation of the shaft of the alternator which produces electrical energy. After removal of force the
top plate returns to its original position due to springs.
3.2methodology
The footstep arrangement is used to generate the electric power. Now a day’s power demand is
increased, so the footstep arrangement is used to generate the electrical power in order to compensate
the electric power demand. In this arrangement the mechanical energy is converted into electrical
energy.

16. 16
Fig 3.3 schematic representation of foot step
The basic working principle of this project is based on the footstep. To implement this we adjust the wooden
plates above and below the sensors and moveable springs. Non-conventional energy using foot step is
converting mechanical energy into the electrical energy. When the pressure is applied, the rack and pinion
will convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy will be storing in the 12v
rechargeable battery connected to inverter. We are using conventional battery charging unit also for giving
supply to the circuitry.
Fig 3.4 Arrangement Of Foot Step
In this project we are converting Mechanical energy into Electrical energy. We are trying to utilize the
wasted energy in a useful way. By using Rack and Pinion arrangement we are converting to and fro motion
of the steps into rotational motion of the dynamo.
In first foot step we are using rack and pinion arrangement directly to rotate the dynamo. But in second step
we are using chain drive mechanism to obtain better efficiency.

17. 17
Through Dynamo the rotational energy is converted into electrical energy. This electrical energy output will
be shown by glowing the LEDs. The output power is expected to be 3 to 4V in prototype.
3.3Objective
The main objectives of this project are:
 To generate the electricity through the human foot
 To provide electricity in rural area
 To promote the non-conventional energy source
 To save conventional energy sources
 To store the electricity for further use
 To produce electricity when rack move in upward direction
 To combine two method for more output from one system

LITERATURE SURVEY
[1] Ramesh Raja R, Sherin Mathew, “Power Generation from Staircase” We are using the non-renewable
energy sources such as petroleum as well as renewable sources like solar, wind, tidal power etc., but still we
couldn’t overcome our power needs. So we have to generate electricity through each and every possible
ways. Power can be generated through we are stepping on the stairs; the generated power will bestored and
can be used for domestic purposes. This system can be installed at homes, colleges, railway stations, where
the people move around the clock. The utilization of waste energy of human foot power is very much
relevant and important for populated countries like India and China. A special mechanical arrangement such
as crankshaft mechanism is employed on the stair case. This arrangement will convert the foot power
applied on stairs, as a rotary motion. This rotary motion will be used to generate efficient electricity. It’s an
eco-friendly; easily accessible and non-conventional power generation system when compared to existing
systems.
[2] Mrs. Krupal Dhimar, Miss. Krishna Patel,, Miss. Zeel Patel, Miss. Nisha Pindiwala,“FOOTSTEP
POWER GENERATION SYSTEM” in that Power crisis is being one of the serious topics to be discussed.
There for possible solution for this to provide sufficient amount of power using renewable energy. Among
these resources, human population is the only far and away and all weather resource that has not been
utilized .we can use proper method required amount of power can be obtain from this resource. We have
thought the idea to utilize human walking power to produce electricity and also we have designed a method
named foot step power generation platform, when people walk on the platform, electricity is generated in
this system uses the pressure due to weight of the person walking on the platform and stored using batteries.
For batter result cascade H bridge inverter used. A 5-level three-phase cascaded hybrid multilevel inverter
that consists of a standard 3-leg (one leg for each phase) and H-bridge in series with each inverter leg with
separate DC voltage sources, 24V and 48V. The control signals for this hybrid multilevel inverter are
implemented by a using SPWM signal modulated technique and digital technique.

[4]Abhishek N.,Shivasharana Yalagi. “POWER GENERATION BY FOOT STEPS USING RACK
AND PINION ARRANGEMENT”in that Now a day’s energy and power are the one of the basic
necessities regarding this modern world. In this project we are generating electrical power as non-
conventional method by walking on the footsteps. Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this
time to developing nations like India, China etc. Non-conventional energy using footsteps needs no fuel
input power to generate the output. In this project the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy

[5] Ajinkya V. Gothane, Akshay R. Gosavi, Prof. P. V. Raut, “FOOT STEP POWER GENERATION” in
that In this paper, we are generated power by simply walking on floor for power applications. Today the
basic need of human is electricity. The energy obtain from floor is one of the non-conventional energy. In
India mostly energy is generated by using conventional energy sources and they are very much limited. On
the other hand by using such resources may cause global warming and serious pollution. Hence it is
necessary to use non-conventional energy to generate power which is eco-friendly and clean in nature. This
system harvest electricity using the pressure energy from movement of human through the floor. It is
electro-mechanical system. This mechanism contains the rack and pinion, gears, bearing, chain, ratchet
mechanism, sprockets, dynamo and battery. The main aim of this system is the harvesting large amount of
power from overcrowded places which can be utilize during load shedding and we are trying to reduce the
problem of electricity in our country significantly.
[6]Patel Kamlesh, Pandya Krunal , Patel Ronak , Prajapati Jaydeep, Mr. Sorathiya Mehul “Design of Foot
Step Power Generation System” in that As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate
solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy Humans
are using the renewable energy which are solar, wind etc. but we still could not satisfy our power needs,
because of that we have to generate electricity through each and every possible ways. The objective of this
work is to produce power through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtained while
walking or standing on to the certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, plate forms and these systems can
be install specially in the more populated areas. In this project the force energy is produced by human foot
step and force energy is converted into mechanical energy by the rack and pinion mechanism. electricity is
produced by DC generator. We are suppose to study existing methods of foot step power generation that are
rack and pinion arrangement and piezoelectric crystals and supposed to modified the existing system.

8.1 Spring
Fig. 8.1 Spring
spring are open-coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind.
Helical compression springs are the most common metal spring configuration. Generally, these coil springs
are either placed over a rod or fitted inside a hole. When you put a load on a compressing coil, springs,
making it shorter, it pushes back against the load and tries to get back to its original length. Compression
springs offer resistance to liner compressing forced (push), and are in fact one of the most efficient energy
storage devices available.
It is defined as an elastic body whose function is to distort when loaded and to recover its original shape
when load is removed. It absorbs or control energy either due to shocks or due to vibrations.
8.2 Chain drive
Fig. 8.2Chain drive
Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another. It is often used to convey
power to the wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles. It is also used in a wide variety of
machines besides vehicles. Most often, the power is conveyed by a roller chain, known as the drive chain or

25. 25
transmission chain, passing over a sprocket gear, with the teeth of the gear meshing with the holes in the
links of the chain. The gear is turned, and this pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system.
Chain drive is used for transmitting mechanical power from one place to another place. It is often used to
convey power to the wheel of vehicle. The power is transmitted by roller chain, known as the chain drive.
8.3Sprocket
Fig,8.3sprocket
A sprocket or sprocket-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth or cogs that mesh with a chain, track or other
perforated or indented material. The name "sprocket" applies generally to any wheel upon which are radial
projections that engage a chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never
meshed together directly, and differs from a pulley in that sprockets have teeth and pulleys are smooth.
Sprocket are used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, tracked vehicles and other machinery to transmit rotary
motion between two shafts where gears are unsuitable or to a track. They can be run at high speed and some
forms of chain are so contracted as to be noiseless even at high speed.
8.4Shaft
Fig.8.4shaft

26. 26
A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used transfer power from one place to another. The shaft
clamped between the iron frame works and the freewheeling type bearing attached to the shaft. The
freewheeling bearing rotates only in on direction.
8.5 Dynamo
F ig. 8.5Dynamo
Dynamo is device which is used to convert the rotational energy into electrical energy. The current produced
by dynamo is DC. It is primary form of power generation due to its reliability and efficiency of the system.
8.6 Pully
Fig. 8.6pully
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a
taut cable or belt, or transfer of power between the shaft and cable or belt. A pulley may have a groove or
grooves between flanges around its circumference to locate the cable or belt. The drive element of a pulley
system can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain.Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads, apply forces,
and to transmit power. In nautical contexts, the assembly of wheel, axle, and supporting shell is referred to
as a "block."
8.7 Ball bearing

27. 27
Fig. 8.7 Ball bearing
A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the
bearing races. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial
loads.
8.8 Main stand
Fig 8.8Main stand
It is used to support the whole structure.
8.9 Belt

28. 28
Fig 8.9Belt
A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically, most often
parallel. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently or to track relative
movement. Belts are looped over pulleys and may have a twist between the pulleys, and the shafts need not
be parallel.

CONCLUSION
In modern world the demand of renewable energy is increasing rapidly. Power generating slab doesn’tneed
any fuel to produce power. It just uses the energy that is lost by a human during walking. These slabs canbe
helpful in reducing power crisis. If these slabs are produced industrially and further research is done
onmaterials and the design, the efficiency will be a lot better. Then these slabs can be viewed as a next
promisingsource of generating power, especially in a country like India, where we have a lot of power crisis,
andpopulation explosion. Spreading this technology on large scale would be much cheaper and efficient than
anyother renewable sources of energy, and it should be highly recommended. This technology is
completelyharmless to life of any sort, and the environment, and highly beneficial, especially in our
developing nation.

33. 33
CHAPTER-13
FUTURE SCOPE
As for the future scope, we can use this principle in the speed breakers in highways where there is a lot
of rush, thus the input torque and ultimate output of generator can be increased. If this technology is
implemented in the stairs of a very busy building ,a lot of efficient electrical power can be harnessed to run
theloads in the building. The approach for the utilization of waste energy by human locomotion is very
relevant inhighly populated countries like India and China where the roads, railway stations, bus stands,
temples, etc. areall over crowded. This whole human locomotive energy being wasted, if can be made
possible for utilization itwill be a great invention and the crowd energy farms will be very useful energy
sources in crowded countries. Alarge amount of electrical energy can be harnessed by such a technique and
can be implemented to runnecessary loads.It can be easily modified into automation base so electricity
generation increases..
