Energy is the main concern of present day. The production of electric current in a huge amount is the need of today world. There are different methods used for the production of energy like conventional and non-conventional methods. Here I will represent the nonconventional method for the production of electric current. This non-conventional method is “Footstep power generation Mechanism” here the energy will be produce by moving the human on a moving plates in which rack and pinion gear are used to convert the physical energy into mechanical energy and further they will have converted into electric energy by using the dynamo. By using this method, we will have produced the energy to light up the bulb. I will also represent the simulation of the footstep power generator using the ansys17.0 software. By the results its seen we will produce the 10.925kw power in one hour. This project will be cost effective and easy to installed in a populated area like railway station, bus stands and in shopping malls. Our project is cost effective and easy to implement.
