- Abstract
Human footsteps are a sustainable energy source that is derived from kinetic energy. As a result, in this study, piezoelectric sensors placed beneath floor tiles were excited by human footsteps to provide practical electrical energy. A simple rectifying circuit with a filter was used to capture electrical power. The floor tile is 455 mm in length and 405 mm in width. Two light-emitted diodes were lit up as the actual load by utilising electrical energy obtained from the kinetic energy generated by human footsteps. The greatest attainable power that could be extracted from the suggested floor tile was 249.6 milliwatts, with an approximate cost of $10.2.
