La marcha humana como fuente generadora de energía a pequeña escala: una revisión

The study of alternative sources of electricity has grown dramatically worldwide and are an energy option for the electronic devices of low-power that require batteries to operate. Different types of energies present in the environment are being considered as energy solutions, and other sources, such as based on the human body show a promising future. Human body is an energy repository, every vital function or activity realized could be considered as a possible energy source. To walk is a physical activity which could be considered as a possible energy source harnessed to turn it into useful electrical power by using piezoelectric transducers as the most appropriate devices to be used on clothes and footwear. Through the mechanical piezoelectric deformation is generated an electric field as well as in the contrary situation. Settling the sole on a surface induces the necessary pressure to generate an electric field by using a piezoelectric as transduction device. This paper presents a compilation about the energy harvesting process from the human displacement from walking movement as an alternative source of electric energy through conversion into electrical power by electrical transduction device.
