In this modern world, growth of technology is highly increased and the human population. So, we have planned to connect these two things to harvest electrical power which is the ultimate source of all those technologies. This paper presents a literature review of generating power by using piezoelectric materials which converts human's footsteps into electrical energy. Many smart materials are used to generate power from many sources. In those, piezoelectric materials related papers are reviewed under the development of a device to produce electrical energy by using the pressure produced by the human while walking and jogging. The utilization of pressure obtained from compression of floors offered by human footstep pressure across the piezoelectric materials. The same technology is applicable for the long vibration system existing in the world.

Problem. With the urgent need for sustainable and renewable energy solutions, the integration of energy-harvesting technologies in urban infrastructure has become a focal point of innovation. Energy-generating tiles, transforming pedestrian movement into electricity, offer a viable path forward. Yet, their efficiency hinges on the internal design, particularly the type of multipliers used. Goal. This study aims to assess and compare the efficiency of energy-generating tiles equipped with helical and straight-cut gear multipliers, to identify the optimal design for maximizing energy conversion in urban environments. Methodology. An experimental setup was created to test prototypes of the energy-generating tiles under controlled foot traffic conditions. The study measured and analyzed the electrical output and efficiency of tiles with both types of gear multipliers, simulating real pedestrian traffic scenarios. Results. Energy-generating tiles featuring straight-cut gears outperformed those with helical gears in energy output and conversion efficiency. The research also illuminated the influence of pedestrian dynamics, like step force and frequency, on tile performance. Originality. This research advances renewable energy technology by offering a comprehensive analysis of energy-generating tile efficiency with different gear multipliers. It introduces an innovative method for evaluating tile performance, underscoring the significance of gear design in energy conversion. Practical value. The findings have considerable implications for sustainable urban development, suggesting that implementing energy-generating tiles in areas with high foot traffic could significantly enhance urban renewable energy sources. This study not only guides the design of more efficient energy-harvesting tiles but also encourages their broader adoption, supporting urban sustainability goals and the reduction of carbon emissions.

“…Researchers have used a variety of designs to embed piezoelectric components for mechanical-to-electric energy conversion in floor tiles. These designs are roughly categorised into three primary types: cantilever type [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], curved type [9][10][11], and ar-ray/stacked type [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], depending on the type of piezoelectric element utilised. However, the most readily accessible piezoelectric energy harvesters are piezoelectric diaphragms, which are simple to attach to any planar surface using an adhesive.…”

Human footsteps are a sustainable energy source that is derived from kinetic energy. As a result, in this study, piezoelectric sensors placed beneath floor tiles were excited by human footsteps to provide practical electrical energy. A simple rectifying circuit with a filter was used to capture electrical power. The floor tile is 455 mm in length and 405 mm in width. Two light-emitted diodes were lit up as the actual load by utilising electrical energy obtained from the kinetic energy generated by human footsteps. The greatest attainable power that could be extracted from the suggested floor tile was 249.6 milliwatts, with an approximate cost of $10.2.
