Abstract :
With the increasing demand for renewable and portable energy sources, harvesting energy from human motion has gained significant attention. This project presents a smart shoe that generates electrical power using the piezoelectric footstep technique. Piezoelectric sensors embedded in the shoe convert mechanical pressure from walking into electrical energy. The generated energy is conditioned using an ADC circuit to convert analog signals into digital form. An Arduino microcontroller processes the sensor data and manages energy storage. The harvested energy is stored in a 12V rechargeable battery for later use. An LCD is used to display real-time voltage and power generation status. This system provides a sustainable and eco-friendly power generation solution. It utilizes otherwise wasted human kinetic energy. The smart shoe operates without external power sources. It is compact, lightweight, and user-friendly. The system demonstrates efficient energy conversion and monitoring. It can p
