The Problems Our Project Have Potentially To Fight These

Problem

World Thirst For Energy Which Is Always Increasing

Dependency On Conventional Energy Which Is Just Too Much

Global Warming

Wasting Up Of Resources

Limitation Of Non Conventional Energy

World Energy Thirst EIA's recently released International Energy Outlook 2013

(IEO2013) projects that world energy consumption will grow by 56% between 2010 and 2040, from 524 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) to 820 quadrillion Btu. Most of this growth will come from non-OECD (non-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries, where demand is driven by strong economic growth.

Renewable energy and nuclear power are the world's fastest-growing energy sources, each increasing 2.5% per year. However, fossil fuels continue to supply nearly 80% of world energy use through 2040. Natural gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel, as global supplies of tight gas, shale gas, and coal bed methane increase.

Based on current policies and regulations governing fossil fuel use, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are projected to rise to 45 billion metric tons in 2040, a 46% increase from 2010. Economic growth in developing nations, fueled by a continued reliance on fossil fuels, accounts for most of the emissions increases.

The Global Warming

Page 6: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect

Effects Of Global Warming

Page 8: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Cause Of Global Warming Burning of fossil fuels (Coal/Crude oil)

Power plants generate electricity

Transportation-----fuels for transports (E.g. LPG, kerosene, fuel oil)

Industrial processes (E.g. manufacture of cement, steel, aluminum)

Other greenhouse gases emission Agriculture Forestry Other land uses Waste management

Page 9: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Besides carbon dioxide, other

gases such as methane,

chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen

oxides and ozone also

contribute to the greenhouse

effect.

Example : Using natural gas to cook CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O

increased about 0.6°C/century since the late19th century increased to 2°C/century over the past 25 years Regions that have temperatures (1-3°C) warmer than the

average: United States Most of the Europe

Regions that have temperatures (1-3°C) cooler than the average: Australia

The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions and an increase in the number, duration and intensity of tropical storms. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment.

Direct Temperature Effects

Increase in average temperature

More extreme heat waves during the summer; Less extreme cold spells during the winter

Harmful to those with heart problems, asthma, the elderly, the very young and the homeless

Page 13: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Extreme Events Extreme Events: Heat waves; Cold waves; Storms;

Floods and Droughts Global warming

An increase in the frequency of extreme events

More event-related deaths, injuries, infectious diseases, and stress-related disorders

Page 14: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Climate-sensitive diseases Increase the risk of some infectious

diseases [particularly that appear in warm areas; are spread by

mosquitoes and other insects] E.g. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis

Algal blooms occur more frequently as temperatures warm (particularly in areas with polluted waters)

Diseases (e.g. cholera) accompanying algal blooms become more frequent

Page 15: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Air QualityAn increase in the concentration

of ground-level ozone

Damage lung tissue

Harmful for those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases

Page 16: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Food supply

Rising temperatures and variable precipitation

Decrease the production of staple foods in many of the poorest

regions

Increasing risks of malnutrition

Page 17: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Population displacementRising sea levels

Increase the risk of coastal flooding

(Necessitate population displacement)

More than half of the world's population now lives within 60km of the sea.

Most vulnerable regions: Nile delta in Egypt, the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh, many small islands, such as the Maldives, the Marshall Islands and Tuvalu.

UV Exposure (Australia)

Skin Cancer   an abnormal growth of skin tissues.

Premature aging make the skin thick, wrinkled, and leathery  

Cataracts  No longer have transparent lenses in their

eyes

Page 19: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

UV Exposure (Australia) Other Eye Damages

Skin cancer around the eyes Degeneration of the yellow spot

Suppression of Immunity   Overexposure to UV radiation suppress

proper functioning of the body's immune system and natural defenses of skin

UV-B radiation weakens the immune system increases the chance of infection and disease

Non Conventional Energy

Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms, it derives directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, and biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources.

Limitation Current availability of fuel obtained from plants that can be used

as economical energy practically is limited. Though lot of research and development activities is going on around to world to develop plants that could provides suitable fuels economically and in sufficient quantities.

The total potential of renewable energy source as wind power and tidal power is limited.

The current capital cost for equipment to convert renewable energy such as solar, wing and tide is very high.

Plant for generating power from wind, and tides can be located only in places where suitable conditions of tide or wind exist.

The plant for generating energy from sun light, wind and solar energy have to be spread around large areas.

Page 26: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Solar power is dependent on availability of sunlight. Thus the availability of power fluctuates from zero to maximum every day.

There have been some allegations that large scale use of wind power can interfere  pattern of wind flow and disturb the set weather pattern. Use of hydro power is already known change the pattern of silting in rivers.

Solar energy disadvantages: solar radiation is depending on geographical location solar radiation is depending on the cycle day/night capture of solar radiation is requiring a large amount of necessary materials Wind energy disadvantages: wind turbines are noisy and can become dangerous for wild birds Hydroelectric energy disadvantages:  affects ecology by the process of vegetation decaying, which is releasing

methane, which is also responsible with the greenhouse effects flooding is another problem caused by the dam releasing; Geothermal energy disadvantages:  geothermal wells drilling is costly together with the heat, poisonous gasses could be released

How Our Project Can Help ?

Page 29: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

How Much Do We Walk In Our Life Span?

The average moderately active person take around 7,500 step/day.  If you maintain that daily average and live until 80 years of age, you’ll have walked about 216,262,500 steps in your lifetime.

Doing the math;  the average person with the average stride living until 80 will walk a distance of around 110,000 miles.  

Which is the equivalent of walking about 5 times around the Earth, right on the equator.

Electricity generating Footwear

While looking for our project we first thought of tidal energy which had a large scope in the coming decade but not every country have sea connection. So it was not possible and a solution in this case is something which satisfy every country to make a bigger change. And while looking for a solution we came the Piezo Electric Effect. First we thought the idea cannot produced such a major but after some calculation it was literally mind blowing results. The concept of making shoes that produce electricity may seem but odd but the amount of electricity that can be saved from the it is massive.

Page 31: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Don’t believe this is revolutionary? After this calculation you will also believe.

The typical cell phone battery voltage is around 3 to 4Vdc. Also, the battery is rated in mAh which is a measure of battery capacity (milliamp * hours). If I remember correctly a decent phone battery is around 2000-3000mAh. This means that if I connect a load to this battery which draws 2000-3000mA, the battery will roughly survive for about an hour. Theoretically. 

Page 32: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

Assume that your new smart phone has the following specifications.... 

3.5V battery 3000mAH battery capacity Requires a full recharge everyday. 

Therefore the battery lasts 24hours, which correlates directly to the AVERAGE current draw on the battery: I = 3000mAH / 24H = 125mA 

Knowing that your battery is 3.5V, finding the AVERAGE power consumption is just 

Power = V * I = 3.5 * .125 = .4375W  So, Around 6, 57, 29, 50,124+ mobile phone users. As we speak this number is increasing at a very fast rate. Each mobile consume around .5W So everyday total consumption is = 5*6, 57, 29, 50,124 = 32,86,47,50,620 W

Page 33: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

And if we add other small appliance like mp3 player, watches, wireless joy-pad and gaming console, power bank, GPS devices, wireless speaker ,etc. this will easily become around 50,00,00,00,000 W. Around 5,00,00,000 KW( 50 million kilowatt).Assuming this to be done in one day(24 hours *150 days as the rest of the time we will not be walking or doing any kind of work) then it will be 8 640 000 000 000 Kilowatt hour [kWh]=  8 640 Terawatt hour [TWh]. It is equal to 2 times the total production of USA electricity power and 7 times that of India . This energy is 100% natural and is independent of external factors like sunlight, wind, etc. So this can be a new step towards a bright energy rich future.

This is equal to 994800000 kg CO2e which is equivalent to 271580400 kg of Carbon which we can save from entering the atmosphere daily. And this could contribute a lot in fighting global warming.

Concept Behind the Project

Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. The word Piezoelectric is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and piezo, which is Greek for “push”.

One of the unique characteristics of the piezoelectric effect is that it is reversible, meaning that materials exhibiting the direct piezoelectric effect (the generation of electricity when stress is applied) also exhibit the converse piezoelectric effect (the generation of stress when an electric field is applied).

Page 35: Global Warming And Revolutionary Way To Combat It

When piezoelectric material is placed under mechanical stress, a shifting of the positive and negative charge centers in the material takes place, which then results in an external electrical field. When reversed, an outer electrical field either stretches or compresses the piezoelectric material.

Why Not Use Dynamos?

As much as possible, we tried to avoid using dynamos. Yes dynamos produce more electricity but it will feel like you've stuffed a rock in your shoe. Don't forget dynamos will create a lot of noise.
