Energy Harvesting from Foot Traffic:

This project involves developing a piezoelectric platform that will convert energy in footsteps to electricity, and an accompanying display that will visualize the instantaneous and cumulative amounts of converted energy. This platform will be installed in high-traffic areas of the University of Michigan Hospital, to increase public awareness of energy issues and novel methods of electricity generation.
