This research study focuses on the development and evaluation of a footstep-powered using piezoelectric technology. The study aims to explore alternative and sustainable energy generation by converting mechanical energy produced from human footsteps into usable electrical energy. The system utilizes multiple piezoelectric transducers integrated into a platform designed to generate electrical output when pressure is applied. The research investigates the efficiency, energy output, and practicality of implementing piezoelectric-based energy harvesting in high-foot-traffic areas such as school hallways, public walkways, and transportation terminals. Experimental testing and data analysis were conducted to measure voltage generation, energy storage capability, and charging performance.
