  • Abstract
    Energy can be harvested parasitically from ambient motions such as human movements like footsteps, motion of the automobiles etc., Transducers when subjected to external force convert pressure in to potential. This potential when accumulated can cater the needs of the present day world illuminating many houses, running fans, charging the batteries and basic amenities. The circuit designed in this project can take any kind of energy sources such as physical pressure, air or water pressure, solar energy, vibrational energy etc., as input by using the appropriate transducers and give the electric power output that can be used for any power driven applications. It has also got wide future scope in the field of automobiles by harvesting the pressure energy in the tires and the impulse energy in the suspensions.
