Abstract:Purpose
One of the sustainable energy sources derived from kinetic energy is human footsteps. This research sought to find a substitute for conventional power sources to lessen dependence on them. As a result, a floor tile excited by human footsteps was demonstrated and presented to generate usable electrical power.
Methods
Piezoelectric patches, hot melt glue sticks, wood plates, and foam plates are just a few of the commercially available materials used … Show more
