Energy harvesting in the form of electricity by Piezo – Cells by placing them in a pair of shoes and storing energy in Power Bank

Abstract

Piezoelectric utilization as a generator is an effort to obtain electrical energy that refers to the concept of energy harvesting relating to the development of piezo-cells as a powerhouse that converts the pressure or vibration into electrical energy. This energy can be used for low-powered electronic devices because the use of piezoelectric as a powerhouse allows the use in charging low voltage, a large resource is required in different series. The energy harvesting device and a voltage amplifier are created to increase the voltage of the piezoelectric output. An Arduino microcontroller is used to control the energy harvesting device and voltage booster. It has been observed that approximately 10 steps of walk charge four AA 1.2 Volt batteries whereas 80 steps of walk charge two 12 volt batteries.
