POWER GENERATING SHOES THROUGH STRESS COUPLED PHENOMENON OF CRYSTALS

Project Title

POWER GENERATING SHOES THROUGH STRESS COUPLED PHENOMENON OF CRYSTALS

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

We are making a shoe design that is capable of generating power when you walk wearing it. This power generation works on the the phenomenon of piezoelectric effect, basically piezoelectric effect is the phenomenon of some crystals that generates power when stress is applied on them. This generated power is then used to charge our handheld devices like mobile phones, bluetooth devices, etc.

Project Objectives

As we all know that in Pakistan energy crises is one of the major issue and the government is trying there level best to encounter this problem but they are not getting enough success in this field. So, our major objective is to make a device that is capable of powering up our basic handheld devices, for this purpose we are making this shoe which generates power to do so.

As this is a research project  and many countries across the world are working on it so our another objective is to make these shoes as early as possible and make them cost and power efficient.

Project Implementation Method

Firstly we research about the project. Secondly we bought the crysatls/tranducers and test them to ensure that results are same as expected or others wise move towards another material, Thirdly we design circuits and again check the Firstly we research about the project. Secondly we bought the crystals/transducers and test them to ensure that results are same as expected or others wise move towards another material, Thirdly we design circuits and again check the response of materials/crystals and derive useful results from it. Fourthly, we check how much voltages we get and store them in batteries  and Lastly, we made the shoe design and add our circuits to it and do final testing.responce of matrials/crystals and derive useful results from it.
