Data for: Design and Fabrication of Mechanical Footstep Power Generator

Proposal for the utilization of waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is very much relevant and important for highly populated countries like India and China where mobility of its masses will turn into boon in generating electricity from its footsteps. In India, places like roads, railway stations, bus stands, are all over crowded and millions of people move round the clock. As a result large amount of power can be obtained with the use of this promising technology. This process involves number of simple setup that are installed under the walking platform. When people walk on this platform their body weight compresses the setup which rotates a dynamo or Sanyo coil and current produced is stored in dry battery. To reduce the external compression, a responsive subflooring system is installed. And while the power producing platform is over crowded with moving population, energy is produced at larger levels. Greater movement of people will generate more energy.

针对人体步行产生的足部闲置能量利用方案，对于印度、中国这类人口稠密国家而言极具现实意义与应用价值——其民众日常出行的步行活动可将脚步动能转化为电能，变废为宝。以印度为例，道路、火车站、巴士总站等场所均人流密集，数百万民众昼夜不间断地通行，依托这项极具前景的技术，便可获取大量电能。该技术的核心为若干安装于步行平台下方的简易装置：当行人在平台上行走时，自身体重会挤压该装置，带动发电机（dynamo）或三洋线圈（Sanyo coil）旋转，所产生的电流将储存于干电池中。为降低外部载荷对装置的影响，平台还加装了响应式地板衬板系统。当发电平台人流密集、行人持续移动时，便可实现大规模能量产出；行人通行量越大，产生的电能也就越多。
