Abstract

As we all currently use non-renewable energy sources like coal and petroleum as well as renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc. for electricity generation but still, we couldn’t overcome our power requirements. In recent times, the necessity for electricity is growing rapidly and the state has arrived when we have to think of generating electricity in each and every possible way. Also, an increased environmental awareness is growing and there is a great demand for efficient and productive designs to involve in our daily routine. The world has embraced this concept by incorporating solar panels, wind turbines, and promoting this limited type of energy source via zip cars. We looking for new ways to generate energy, we will be focusing on harvesting energy from everyday activities which are also eco-friendly and good for nature. This paper shows a novel approach for harvesting electricity from a commonly used staircase by utilising the energy which is being wasted while climbing the stairs using Piezoelectric crystals and DC alternator with a special gear assembly arrangement.

Keyphrases: DC Alternator, Electricity generation, Piezoelectric crystals, harvesting energy
