Man has needed energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and well being ever since he came on the earth. Due to this lot of energy resource have been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of waste energy with foot power human locomotion is very much relevant and is very important for highly populated countries in INDIA and CHINA, where the roads, railway stations, bus stands and temples are overcrowded and millions of people moving around the clock. By using such principle the energy can be utilized in the whole area where the mechanical energy is being converted to electrical energy. A set up of rack and pinion with dyanamo and battery. This penion rotate over rack and generate energy by the use of dyanamo and store in the battery with the help of rectifier. We use full wave reactifier for more energy storage. We put these dyanamo in series for maximum energy generation. The Foot Step Energy Generation System would work as a responsive sub-flooring system made up of blocks that depress slightly under the force of human steps would be installed beneath the walking lobby. The slippage of the blocks against one another as people walked would generate power through the principle of the dynamo, a device that converts the energy of motion into that of an electric current. When a 40 kg person move once on this device then it generate 4v. this energy is vary about 4 to 5 volt. This paper discusses different types of energy generation, benefits and challenges in their operation and various applications Top Keywords Rack, Pinion, lead acid storage battery, a small inverter, spring, wires, nut and bolt, holder, frame material.
