WALK TO GENERATE POWER

Abstract

Demand on energy has been adopted throughout the world, and traditional methods of generating power have a direct impact on environment. So, here we are proposing a non-conventional method of power generation that utilizes wasted energyin un-interrupted way and cope with the increasing demand of energy. The basic concept of this system is capturing unused energy when a person walks on a certain arrangement and converting it into electrical energy. The power generated with this non-conventional method depending on the human daily activity (walking) .This energy is then stored in a Lead Acid battery so we can charge any device such as mobile phones. Also this system enables us of viewing the amount of output voltage using an LCD. This project would be installed in crowded cities like Hebron and Gaza strip in places where people exists the most, for example: stations, entries, stairs, restaurants, and streets. We made such an arrangement so we can obtain an efficient and reliable system using embedded technologies. The ATMega328 microcontroller which is the heart of the circuit, allows dynamic and fast control of all of the functions, the LCD makes the system user friendly. At the end of implementation, we were able to develop a compatible system that serves us in many ways after installing it at homes, schools, and other places where the people move around. The system successfully generates power and the results were approved.
