Abstract

Coal, along with other fossil fuels, is still the major source of power generation. However, with a rapid consumption speed, these fossil fuels will be exhausted in the future. Also, the use of fossil fuels for power generation causes air pollution and the greenhouse effect. So, to deal with these problems, we need a greener solution. This project mainly aims to build a power generator using the piezoelectric sensor. The sensor converts the pressure into an electrical charge. When pressure is applied to piezoelectric sensors, an electric charge is generated. This generated output in the form of alternating current (AC) is then converted into Direct current (DC) to store for further use. This generation technique can be used in more vibration-producing areas, mainly staircases in public places (like railway stations), for lower power applications.
