Last year project

Mozaritz :

This project aims at building a mechanism that is able to convert the pressure being produced in shoes to an alternating current.This is a benifitial way of producing power.

The Mechanical pressure is available at the two regions in the shoes.
1 .The curvature and relaxation at the ball of the foot.
2. Heel strike displacement at the heel cup.

By replacing the piezoelectric sensors beneath our heels,we can utilize the mechanical pressureto convert into electricity.
While walking we apply more than 1000Kpa pressure on the crystals embedded in our shoes.
The applied pressure is converted into alternating current (AC) of maximum of 20 mA,3.3 V by a sing
le piezoelectric crystal.
By this way mechanical energy is harvested usefully.
