---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - This paper is all about generating electricity when people walk on the Floor. Think about the forces you exert which is wasted when a person walks. The idea is to convert the weight energy to electrical energy The Power Generating floor intends to translate the kinetic energy to the electrical power. Energy Crisis is the main issue of world these days. The motto of this research work is to face this crisis somehow. Here in this paper we have also added a solar panel with the footsteps power generation setup which will help us in meeting the needs of electricity in the future. So this hybrid system can be installed easily anywhere depending upon the need of electricity in that region. Using this idea we can generate power up to 1MegaWatt with proper designing and specifications of the floor and the panel. Which itself is an achievement to make it significant. Key Words: electrical energy, energy crisis, kinetic energy, solar panel, hybrid system, power generating floor, weight energy 1.INTRODUCTION This manuscript describes about generating the electrical energy by using the weight energy, one can simply be shocked by knowing how much energy a person can have by simply walking on the floor with a normal speed as people’s steps (thousands upon thousands a day) utilize and channel kinetic energy too. Whenever a person walks, manages to lose energy towards the floor by means of influence, vibration, and audio and so on, a result of the move of excess weight to the floor. That energy may be used and converted into electrical energy. The actual electro-kinetic floor is really an approach to making electrical energy by using the kinetic energy of the person who walks on the floor. This paper also includes power generation with solar panel which is added in the system making it a hybrid power generating system. The solar energy is a non-polluting and environmental friendly power source and can be installed © 2017, IRJET

almost anywhere. The system has dual power source making the system more efficient. The energy produced by this hybrid system will be environment friendly without having smog. Producing this type of energy will be cost effective also. The power floor does not need any fuel or perhaps any sort of energy resource, simply making use of kinetic energy. Based upon your excess weight from a person moving on the floor. 2.INITIATIVE Working on the idea to harness human locomotion power, MIT (USA) architecture students James Graham and Thaddeus Jusczyk recently unveiled what they are calling the ‘Crowd Farm’ a setup that would derive energy from pounding feet in crowded places. This technology is a proposal to harness human power as a source of sustainable energy. Population of India and mobility of its masses will turn into boon in generating electricity from its (population’s) footsteps. Human locomotion in over crowded subway stations, railway stations, bus stands, airports, temples or rock concerts thus can be converted to electrical energy with the use of this promising technology. A little modification to this idea was to introduce a solar panel in the system making it a dual power source. The purpose of dual power source is that if by any chance the piezoelectric mat does not work we will still be getting electrical energy from the solar panel and on non sunny days we will get power from the mat. 3.OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION Whenever force is applied on the piezoelectric mat that force is converted into electrical energy using the piezoelectric effect which is used to drive DC loads. The solar panel also converts the sunlight falling on the panel into electrical energy. The output from both the sources is DC.
