YI1200: Ecostep

Dzarif Adzri Bin Mohd Zuri Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman

Ecostep is an innovative approach to electricity generation that uses specially designed steps to convert kinetic energy from people's movement into clean and sustainable energy.Did you know that the pressure of a person's weight on a staircase can create energy? Using piezoelectric sensors, it's now possible to transform this pressure energy into electrical energy. The electricity produced can be stored for future use.Piezoelectricity is a physical phenomenon where mechanically stressed crystals can generate potential differences.Perfect fit for crowded places like airports, train stations, stadiums,zebra crossings, and tourist attractions. Due to the high volume of foot traffic, these areas benefit greatly from having EcoSteps installed.Ecostep distinguishes itself from other renewable energy sources in several ways. Unlike solar and wind generators, it doesn't depend on weather conditions and doesn't need new land for construction. Ecostep can be used worldwide due to its simple requirements –electricity can be generated just by people walking or exerting more effort.
