Abstract

More sustainable forms of electrical power are needed in order to keep costs lower and to insure a healthier environment for future generation. In this paper a way to utilize alternative forms of energy at passenger terminals like at dance floors across the world has been presented. Three piezoelectric material to be used was studied and a graph is presented. The use of piezoelectric devices installed in terminals will enable the capturing of kinetic energy from dance floor. This energy can then be used to offset some of the power coming from the main grid. Such a source of power can then be used to operate lighting systems.
