Stair Energy Generator (SEG)
Over 45 countries experience ten or more power outages per year, with Bangladesh experiencing 248 a year, and over 70% of consumed energy per year is either Coal, Oil, or natural gas. The world needs cleaner energy, which can be easily built/installed in any country. This has led me to design a product that can capture wasted energy through the action of traversing a set of stairs and store it for later use.To assist in the development of this project, advice/support in energy generation (piezoelectric, electromagnetic generator, electric motor, Triboelectric Nanogenerators), Material research, electronics (energy storage), and Mechanical Engineering.
