IOT based Advanced and Secure Footstep power generator

Abstract

Global energy demand has increased, and traditional power producing techniques have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, we are here to provide an unconventional method of power generation that continuously utilizes lost energy in order to meet the expanding need for energy. The fundamental idea behind this system is to capture energy created when someone walks on a particular plate and transform it into electrical energy. The generated energy is then stored in a rechargeable battery to be used later. The amount of power produced using this unconventional method depends on how many steps a person walks and her/his weight. The system usesIoT technology by connecting it to a cloud that stores and analyzesthe obtained data from the system. Additionally, the system enables us to view the output voltage amount, weight of steppers and number of steps using LCD. The system is secured; It allows only authorized users to use the generated power that is stored in the rechargeable battery. The implemented system is tested and it is successfully achieves all its objectives. The system was able to generate 28 volts as a maximum voltage that can be obtained from one step.
