It is a system which produces the current whenever the human being walks on the road with free of cost. the system uses rack and pinion arrangement along with gears and spring based arrangement to generate power from footsteps. The system uses the rock and pinion mechanism to convert the linear motion into rotating motion. The system allows for an efficient power generator medium. We use a rack to transfer power from human footsteps to a gear attached to a shaft, the power is then transferred to another gear through a gear based arrangement.

Project Description:
Gear:Gears are used for transferring the torque from one place to another place by meshing the teeth with another gear. When two gears mesh, if one gear is bigger than the other, a mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational speeds, and the torques, of the two gears differing in proportion to their diameters.
Rack & Pinion:It is a linear actuator which converts the linear motion into rotating motion as well as the rotating motion into linear motion.
Shaft:A shaft is a rotating machine element, which is used to transmit power from one part to another. Usually circular shape in cross section.
Spring:A spring is an elastic object that stores mechanical energy. Springs are typically made of steel.
Supporting Rods and frame:Supporting rods and frame provides the place for fixing all the parts together to make the generator.
DC Generator:Its converts the (mechanical) rotational energy into electrical energy.
Project Implementation:
First take the bottom plate and top plate fix the frame in between this in vertical direction.Then fix one shaft in horizontal direction on the frame.Fix the rocker pinion mechanism between the horizontal shaft and top plate.The spring should be fixed between top plate and bottom plate.Fix the dynamo in such way it should be meshing with pinon of rock and pinion mechanism.After this give some pressure and check the voltage producing by the generator.
