Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic induction-based energy-harvesting floor tile that converts human footstep pressure into electrical energy through two simultaneously operating induction mechanisms. A Wooden Tile (101) supported on a Spring Mechanism (105) undergoes controlled vertical displacement under footstep loading, transmitted through a Vertical Shaft (102) to a Rack (108) and Pinion (109), which drives a bevel gear train comprising a Horizontal Bevel Gear (103), Vertical Bevel Gear (111), Crank Gear (104), and Horizontal Shaft (110), rotating a Rotor (113) carrying Permanent Magnets (114) relative to a Stator (106) wound with Electromagnetic Coils (107), inducing alternating voltage through rotary electromagnetic induction. Simultaneously, three corner-mounted linear induction modules, each comprising a permanent magnet stack sliding axially through a stationary coil, generate voltage pulses during every compression cycle. Combined outputs of both mechanisms are rectified, stored in a supercapacitor, and conditioned through a voltage regulation circuit to deliver stable direct current output.
