The Footstep Power Generation System is an innovative method of generating electricity from human walking pressure. It uses the mechanical energy produced while walking to drive a power generation mechanism. This system is particularly useful in crowded places like railway stations, bus stands, shopping malls, and school corridors, where continuous foot traffic can be converted into usable electrical power.

The generated electricity can be stored in a battery and later used to power lights, charge small devices, or run low-power equipment. This project demonstrates a sustainable and renewable way of energy harvesting from daily human activity.

Parts Used:

1. Mechanical Assembly with Springs or Levers – to absorb and transfer foot pressure

2. Rack & Pinion / Crank Mechanism – converts linear motion into rotary motion

3. Flywheel – smoothens mechanical output before transmission to generator

4. DC Generator / Dynamo – converts mechanical energy into electrical energy

5. Battery – stores the generated electricity

6. LED Lights / Load – demonstration of stored power usage

7. Rectifier Circuit – converts AC to DC (if needed)

8. Voltage Regulator – provides a stable output voltage

9. Wiring & Connectors – electrical connections between components

10. Base Plate / Platform – the surface people step on
