Abstract: Many researchers on developing new energy sources are being actively conducted recently. These new energy sources include renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, rain or wave energy and harvesting energy, especially from human activities. In this research paper, we developed energy harvester by using human footstep among various sources of energy. The generation of electric energy when some load is applied on the sensors either in the form of direct strain or ambient vibration depends upon various factors such as transducers, number of piezoelectric, electromechanical coupling coefficient of the piezoelectric sensors, amount of load applied and also on the scheme of arrangement. The model design and testing were purely for studying the energy generation and capturing phenomenon inefficient manner.
