POWER STEP
Project Area of Specialization Shared EconomyProject SummaryThe concept of tile-electricity is to generate electricity from applied stress and pressure.
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field.
Our tile comprises multiple connection of mechanical motors connected to the electrical appliance via a rectifier. The series-parallel combination not only reduces the net resistance offered by the circuit but also provides an equally good voltage and current ratio. Whereas, the rectifier stabilizes the alternating current to direct current; this can be further used by the appliance.
The solution to the extravagant problem of power shortage is “THE ELECTRIC-TILE”, which not only increases the electricity production but also provides one with an instant person aliased power generating source. With an efficiency of 70%, the tile-electric is independent of the weather forecast for that day. Unlike the air, water and land pollution caused by solar, hydro and biomass generation respectively, electric-tile does not lead to any kind of pollution neither does it cause any harm to the surroundings. With all its apparatus lying under the ground, the electric-tile instead of removing people from an area, asks more populace to join in. Like the benefits provided to the environment weren’t enough. Hence electric-tile can be used as a competent source of energy without fettering our environment or our health.
Project Objectives- Production of power through footsteps.
- Conversion of producing mechanical power into electricity.
- Electricity for everyone.
- Very cheap and utilizable electricity.
- Clean environment, Green World
Our project is based on both software & hardware. In hardware, we need to make a foot-tile which will generate power when a person steps his foot on it whereas in software we will make a server based application which will tell us how much the battery is charged and total number of foot stepped on it. Major components which are required to make FOOT-TILE include:
- Generator
- Gear box (self bulit according to required mechanism)
- Fly wheel
- Battery
- Sensor chip
Our goal is to generate electricity using humanoid power with very less effort required to make electricity almost free and most important thing is to make electricity clean and wild green.
