About the Idea
THE BASIC IDEA IS TO INSTALL PIEZO MATERIALS( PRESSURE TO ELECTRICITY CONVERTERS) IN AREAS WHICH RECEIVE HEAVY FOOTFALLS.
ACCORDING TO A DATA AROUND 270 SQ FT OF THESE TILES WILL GENERATE AROUND 2000 KW OF ENERGY A DAY WITH AROUND SIX LAKH FOOTFALLS.
THESE FIGURES SEEM TO BE LARGE BUT ACCORDING TO SOURCES DELHI STATION RECEIVES 4 LAKH TRAVELERS WHICH MEANS HAVING THESE TILES ON THE GATES WILL GENERATE TEN THOUSAND KW OF ENERGY A DAY .
AS 270 SQ FEET REQUIRES ATLEAST 15 FOOTSTEPS THUS IT WILL HAVE 60 LAKH FOOTSTEPS THUS EVEN AFTER IGNORING ALL THE LOSSES AND TAKING ONLY 50 PERCENT EFFICIENCY OF A ALREADY TESTED PRODUCT WE WILL HARNESS AROUND TEN THOUSAND KW OF ENERGY DAY WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO GLOW (AVERAGE 40W) 10,500 TUBELIGHTS FOR A DAY.
THIS IDEA WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY AS THE MATERIALS HAVE GOT AN INFINITE LIFE AND SINCE THE CIRCUIT IS TOTALLY SEALED IT REQUIRES NEGLIGIBLE MAINTENANCE AND ALSO THE COST IS LESS THAN THAT OF SOLAR PANELS.
IT CAN BRE COMPARED TO SOLAR PANEL AS SOLAR GENERATES 100mW/cm2 WHEREAS PIEZO GENERATES 100uW/cm2 WHICH IS 1000 TIMES LESS THAN SOLAR BUT SOLAR CAN BE USED ONLY 8 HOURS A DAY THAT TOO FOR AROUND 9 MONTHS A YEARS AND BESIDE THESE THE AREA BECOMES UNUSABLE AFTER ITS INSTALLATION.
WITH THE HELP OF A SPECIAL IC MANUFACTURED BY LINEAR TECHNOLOGIES CALIFORNIA I HAVE DEVELOPED A CIRCUIT WITH THE HELP OF IT ENERGY GENERATED CAN BE STORED IN A BATTERY .
THE CIRCUIT RUNS WELL IN THE SIMULATOR BUT I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A WORKING MODEL OF THE CIRCUIT.
EARLIER THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN USED IN FRANCE AIRPORT BUT THERE THEY USED CAPACITOR WHICH MEANS THE LIGHT USED TO GLOW THE MOMENT PEOPLE WALK OVER IT BUT WITH THE HELP OF MY CIRCUIT WE CAN STORE IT IN A BATTERY WHICH CAN BE USED TO RUN APPLIANCES WITH THE HELP OF INVERTER.
Idea Action Plan
The Idea's 30-Day Plan
1STUDYING THE OUTPUT WAVEFRONT
I WILL BE STUDYING THE OUTPUT OF THE PIEZO MATERIALS AND THE THEORY OF CHARGING THE BATTERIES AND THE OTHER CIRCUIT COMPONENTS MORE THOROUGHLY
Located in:MIT LABORATORY, MANIPAL
The Idea's 60-Day Plan
1COMPLETION OF CIRCUITRY
I WILL BE COMPLETING THE CIRCUITRY AND TESTING IT ON PUBLIC AREAS.
Located in:MIT LABORATORY
The Idea's 120-Day Plan
1TROUBLE SHOOTING AND OPTIMISING THE OUTPUT
I WILL WORK ON THE DESIGN TO TROUBLESHOOT ANY FAULT AND WILL TRY TO OPTIMISE MY DESIGN USING DIFFERENT PIEZO MATERIALS AND THEIR ORIENTATION
Located in:COLLEGE GATE
How do you plan to utilize the grant
I WILL BE USING THE WHOLE GRANT TO ACQUIRE THE INSTRUMENTS AND MACHINERY REQUIRED FOR THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF THE PRODUCT AND FOR FURTHER INCREASE IN THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PRODUCT.
Who will this help Rise
consumers , mall owners and railways
How will this help them Rise?
WILL DRASTICALLY DECREASE ENERGY CONSUMPTION THUS WILL DECREASE THE PRICE OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES.
AND NATURE AS IT WILL REDUCE THE PRESENT CONSUMPTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
Idea Milestones
MY GOAL IS TO COVER EACH OF THE BUSY RAILWAY STATIONS AND SUPER MALLS SO THAT WE CAN CONSIDERABLY REDUCE CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ENERGY AND REDUCE PRICE OF GOODS AND SERVICES.
