1. Introduction
Most of the countries are still categorized in developing countries and source of power
has been always crucial for the development and growth of those countries. The developed
countries have managed the source of power however till the date, none of the countries are
utilizing the renewable sources of energy for the need and requirement of entire country. CIA
(Central Intelligence Agency) claimed that 66% of the world are utilizing fossil fuels for the
power generation and 8% have been utilizing nuclear energy for the power production (Nayyar,
Zaigham and Qadeer 2014). The following graph explains the coal consumption rate and the
share of the fuels in power generation:

The population has been drastically increasing around the world due to the fact that death rate
has been always lower than the birth rate and thus, source of energy is a crucial factor for
fulfilling the needs and requirements of the current population (Body et al. 2014). Same
population can be the solution of the identified problem as the proposed project will be helpful in
allowing the populated countries to produce conventional source of mechanical energy that can
be alternatively converted into electrical energy.
This report will be emphasizing on the theoretical aspects of the foot step power
generator using Piezo electric sensors and storing them in batteries for further application. The
proposed project will be helpful in introducing the world with an option of conventional source
of energy that can fulfil the needs and requirements of the population.
