Abstract

The exploration continues to find ways to harness the energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and ocean energy, which naturally replenish themselves without depletion. This research aimed to develop an innovative energy generating shoes which convert human steps into electricity. An experimental research design was utilized to carry out this study following TRIZ Method along with data collection techniques outlined in the study leading to firm conclusions about the shoes’ effectiveness to generate electricity. The data was analyzed using linear regression or investigating the prototype since it enables the exploration of the correlation between two variables: the energy produced and a single predictor, like walking speed or exerted force. The results revealed that the correlation analysis yielded a value of 0.70, indicating a robust positive correlation, suggesting a strong relationship between the number of footsteps and the volts generated. Moreover, with a significant F-value of 0.30 surpassing the p-value of 0.05, there is sufficient evidence to assert that the regression model fits the data better than the model lacking independent variables. which it can be concluded that the energy-generating shoes produced a noteworthy amount of voltage during the trials. The study was constrained by the limited number of laboratory testing conducted by the researchers. It is recommended for future research to produce studies that will focus with multiple laboratory trials of the prototype.
