Abstract: ‘Samarthyam’- The buzz for power. The man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and wellbeing ever since he came on the earth a few million years ago. Due to this a lot of energy resources have been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is very much relevant and important for highly populated countries like India and China where the roads, railway stations, bus stands, temples, etc. are all overcrowded and millions of people move around the clock. The project advanced footstep power generator system is used to generate power from human footsteps. The system allows for a platform for placing footsteps. It uses Piezo sensors to generate the power. The Footstep Power Generation System is eco-friendly, it reduces waste of energy, it is of less maintenance cost, it is of ultralow noise and wide dynamic and temperature range. This project is used for street lighting, mobile charging. It can be used in power failure situations. The application areas of this project involve public areas like temples, streets, metros, railway stations. This entire system will be integrated with software for displaying the amount of power generation with the help of IOT technology
