📘Introduction

In today’s era of sustainable energy and portable electronics, harvesting small amounts of energy from human activities is becoming a fascinating field of research. One of the most practical approaches is the use of piezoelectric materials to generate electricity from mechanical stress. This project, “Piezo Electric Energy Generation from Walking and Phone Charging”, demonstrates how everyday foot movements can be converted into usable electrical power for small devices.

The system utilizes piezoelectric sensors placed underfoot to convert the mechanical stress of walking into electrical energy. In this setup, two 4 V batteries are connected in series to provide 8 V storage capacity. The harvested energy from the Piezo sensors charges these batteries, storing the generated electricity. The stored energy is then regulated using a 7805 voltage regulator to provide a stable 5 V output, enabling phone charging through a USB-C port directly from the user’s pocket.

This design showcases a clean and renewable method of capturing otherwise wasted kinetic energy. It is highly suited for applications like powering low-energy wearable electronics, emergency lighting, or charging mobile devices in areas with limited access to conventional power sources. By integrating piezoelectric transducers, efficient energy storage, and regulated output, the project highlights the future of self-powered portable devices and demonstrates an innovative step towards micro-energy harvesting and sustainable technology.
