A Comprehensive Study and Analysis of Kinetic Energy Floor
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research studies the concept of piezoelectricity, in which the energy can be captured with a small compression. Kinetic energy floor by piezoelectric is able to generate electricity under compression of human weight. A survey has been conducted to estimate the energy that can be harness from human walk. At Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, the pathway between A/B block and G block has been chosen to do the survey which has the highest population in walking. An experimental model has been designed and evaluated; results obtained after continuous experiments and troubleshooting are tabulated. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental result are made for better understanding on the functionality and credibility of the device. In this paper, recommendations are also included for future implementation.
