We all know that dance is a great form of exercise. While dancing we lose a lot of energy and the project we are discussing today will help us to conserve this energy in the form of electricity.
Aim:
To convert human energy into electricity and conserve it into the battery.
Concept:
To implement this project we need to use Piezoelectric materials, which have a special quality of producing electricity when stress is applied to them. This effect was first studied by Carl Linnaeus and Franz Aepinus in the mid 18th century and generally occurs in crystalline materials such as quartz, topaz, etc. These materials consist of asymmetric unit cells and when pressure is applied on them they get more aligned and regular which produces a potential difference between them.
To understand it, we need to know about Hooke's law and electric displacement. Hooke's law states that that stress is directly proportional to strain. When we combined these two concepts we get an equation of Piezoelectricity.
How it works?
When we dance on the bouncing floor (spring and series of power-generating blocks) small electric current produced which is fed into nearby batteries. These batteries constantly recharged and used to power parts of the nightclub.

I am considering harvesting piezo electricity ,a final yr project. please tell me how to go about procuring the transducer and how to relay this energy to a voltmeter (considerin the high impedence)
@agrimajoshua you look like a spam too me. If you are not , give me your email id.
sir i need your help to do this as my main project.
my email id: nagendhar.kolluri@gmail.com
I'm interested in publishing a review paper on this topic. kindly help me by providing us the useful details. Contact me @ aditya.6aug@gmail.com
Dear Sir,
I am really excited about the concept of piezoelectricity. Could you provide me with details of how I could go about this project. My email id is shanahmedshaffi@gmail.cm
