I created an innovative sustainable energy tile that capitalizes on the kinetic energy produced by human footsteps in high footfall urban areas. Through 6 functioning tiles, I demonstrated how piezoelectric sensors efficiently converted footstep-generated mechanical stress into electrical energy. 

My research paper (published on IRJET) focuses on the design and construction of “PowerWalk” tiles and their optimization for energy-harvesting. My study also highlights the materials’ selection, mechanical strength and the impact of PowerWalk in reducing carbon emissions in urban environments. 

My project won the First prize at VJTI Engineering College Tech Fest under the category of “Environmental Sustainability”
