Section 02 · The opportunity

THE PROBLEM

Foot traffic is one of the most consistent untapped mechanical energy flows in the built environment.

MILLIONS OF FOOTSTEPS

High-footfall locations experience continuous human movement throughout the day.

MECHANICAL ENERGY DISSIPATED

The mechanical energy associated with footsteps is normally dissipated into the floor and lost.

GROWING ENERGY DEMAND

Malls, metro stations, airports, schools, stadiums and public spaces need electricity for lighting, sensing and monitoring.

NEED FOR SMARTER INFRASTRUCTURE

Low-power applications across infrastructure call for distributed, resilient energy sources.

FROM PROTOTYPE COST TO COMMERCIAL UNIT ECONOMICS

What the current prototype costs to build — with the arithmetic shown, not hidden.

CURRENT PROTOTYPE COST

  • Magnets

  • Fabrication

    ₹350

COMPUTED TOTAL

₹6,230

The line items above sum to ₹6,230, which differs from the handwritten project figure of ₹4,130 (difference: ₹2,100). Possible cause: the ₹280 power-electronics sub-part may be double-counted inside both the rectifier list and the capacitors line. Treat the computed sum as the working estimate until supplier quotations confirm each line. (Handwritten project figure: ₹4,130.)
