Kinetic energy is considered as one of the renewable energies. Substantial amounts of researches were conducted to investigate the feasibility of converting the kinetic energy into electricity. Nevertheless, most of these previous works emphasized on the selection of suitable materials and the design of power generator which tends to be complicated. In this paper, a simple and yet low cost mechanism has been proposed to enhance the performance and efficiency of energy conversion from kinetic energy to electricity energy by placing a mechanical footstep power generator on the hind foot region. A total of 45 individuals were invited to participate in the experiments and the experiment results are then compared with the theoretical results.

The main objective of this project is to fabricate a complete functional seed sprayer machine which is fully powered by solar energy. The solar seed sprayer machine should be able to spray different types of vegetable seeds. Further analysis about the performance has been conducted through the seed amount sprayed over time and area covered by the machine. Solar energy i s u s e d a s the power supply for the machine. Wireless communication is used to remotely control the machine, and the 3D printing technology is used to assist in the fabrication of required components. The solar seed sprayer machine under research is composed of four main systems. The remote driving system, solar charging system, seed storage dispenser system, and impeller spreader system. Different experiments have been conducted to assess the performance of the machine. The performance of machine is indicated through the capability of machine on spreading different types of seeds with various size and shape. The spread seed count has been also tested as well with the area covered by the machine.
