The objective of this work is power generation through footsteps as a source of renewable energy that we can obtained while walking on to the certain arrangements like footpaths, stairs, plate forms and these systems can be install elsewhere specially in the dense populated areas. So then these techniques should be applied in order to get the desired output. But these renewable energy sources must have to be adopted in practical manner by keeping an eye on all aspects regarding the research work. As the demand of energy is increasing day by day, so the ultimate solution to deal with these sorts of problems is just to implement the renewable sources of energy. Nowadays energy and power are the one of the basic necessities regarding this modern world. To this end, suggestions for enhancements, improvements, and future projects based on the work done in this project are listed. A secondary objective of this project is to encourage the exploration of wind and alternative energy systems at Amrita, by providing a base on which other projects can be developed. A permanent magnet generator has been fabricated, and based on test data, the entire setup is expected to have a C_P of 0.28. Airfoil data was obtained using XFOIL software. Blades for the turbine were dimensioned using Schmitz methodology, and carved out of wood. The generated plans hve been used for manufacture of the final components. Tedious calculations involved in the design have been performed in Python. The mechanical design has been modelled in Pro-E, analyzed for saftey, and found to be adequate. Various configurations of wind electric systems and different methods of electricity generation are studied to find that horizontal turbines with permanent magnet generators are the best option. Wind resource assessment has been carried out at Amritapuri Ashram as part of this project. A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy which is then converted to electrical energy by a generator. The objective of this project is to design and build a horizontal axis upwind wind electric generator, with the aim of delivering power to small loads. Such systems are typically used for charging batteries to run small electrical applications, often in remote locations. With Peak Oil already behind us (in 2008), small-scale power generation, via wind turbines and other renewable sources, will be much more widespread in the future. Although renewable energy is said to be the `energy source of tomorrow,' it is being used to meet almost 160TW of global energy production today.
