RESEARCH ELABORATIONS Abstract—Man has needed and used energy at an increasing A. STUDY OF PIEZO MATERIALS rate for the sustenance and well-being since time immemorial. Due to this a lot of energy resources have been exhausted and Piezoelectric ceramics belong to the group of ferroelectric wasted. Proposal for the utilization of waste energy of foot power materials. Ferroelectric materials are crystals which are polar with human locomotion is very much relevant and important for without an electric field being applied. The piezoelectric highly populated countries like India where the railway station, effect is common in piezo ceramics like PbTiO3, PbZrO3, temples etc., are overcrowded all round the clock .When the PVDF and PZT. The main component of the project is the flooring is engineered with piezo electric technology, the electrical piezoelectric material. The proper choice of the piezo energy produced by the pressure is captured by floor sensors and converted to an ele
