The study designed and developed a system of generating electricity through the beats of human feet using piezoelectric materials. The system made use of mechanical deformation occasioned by the foot beats of dancers when stepped on a platform in which piezoelectric materials were installed at dance club centres to cause piezo films to generate electrical density that was stored in a rechargeable lead acid battery for future use. The study shows that human pressure due to human weight when applied in the system could be converted to electrical energy for later use. The study shows that it would require 1802 foot beats for a 50kg dancer to increase a unit voltage in a battery; foot beats for a 60 kg dancer; and 1194 foot beats for an 80kg dancer respectively. The system is suitable where there are high volumes of human traffic such as markets, worship centres, shopping malls, bus stations, and parks. It can also be used in powering small electrical appliances and electronic gadgets such as cell phones, radio stereo, television, fan, and street lights. Based on this, research into this kind of electricity generation should be expanded in large scale and sponsored by the government or corporate organisations. The system should be incorporated in the design and construction of building including new material development as a means of achieving sustainable construction and minimisation of conventional energy consumption in building use.

“…This piezoelectric transducer is connected to each other and placed it on footpaths, stairs, platforms or in populated areas. The voltage that generated from this piezoelectric transducer can be used to power up the low power appliances such as road light, street light and sigh boards of streets [2]. The voltage can be stored in the battery and also in the capacitor before being used as the voltage generated from the piezoelectric is low.…”

<span>Electrical energy is important and had been demand increasingly. A lot of energy resources have been wasted and exhausted. An alternative way to generate electricity by using a population of human had been discovered When walking, the vibration that generates between the surface and the footstep is wasted. By utilizing this wasted energy, the electrical energy can be generated and fulfill the demand. The transducer that use to detect the vibration is a piezoelectric transducer. This transducer converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. When the pressure from the footstep is applied to the piezoelectric transducer, it will convert the pressure or the force into the electrical energy. The piezoelectric transducer is connected in series-parallel coonection. Then, it is placed on the tile that been made from wood as a model for footstep tile to give pressure to the piezoelectric transducers. This tile can be placed in the crowded area, walking pavement or exercise instruments. The electric energy that generates from this piezoelectric tile can be power up low power appliances.</span>

In this paper, the design and simulated results of conventional controllers on non linear hopper tank system are presented to attain a desired level of a process tank. The hopper tank non linear systems are used for this analysis which is also used in the field of Pharmaceutical, Petro chemical industries. Evacuation of products without wastage is possible due to non-linearity of hopper tank’s cross sectional behavior of the process. The open loop performance are determined to obtain the desired level control with conventional PI, PID controllers for various tuning techniques like step response based Ziegler Nicholas and open loop Cohen coon tuning method. The major advantage of this method is simplicity. The relationship between these two tuning systems is reproduced by Matlab Simulink model & Compared the presentation of controllers with hopper process tank.
