Abstract


In this paper, rack and pinion assembly is used for generating power by utilization of force which is obtained during the walking on steps. It generates electrical energy with the help of mechanical systems. The generated power is stored using a battery and this is used for activating the connected lighting loads. This is one of the compact and efficient systems for generating electricity that can be easily installed in many regions. The basic working principle is based on the spring force that is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery connected to the inverter. Further, this inverter is used to convert dc to ac. This idea promotes non-conventional energy sources by generating electricity through human footsteps. The complete mathematical calculations and design are discussed in this paper. Further, its hardware model is developed to verify the mathematical design.
