Smart Punching Bag System with Micro energy Generator

Abstract

The contact sport has become more popular these days. People are adapting boxing for exercise purpose but it is dangerous to learn boxing alone it is better to keep a personal trainer which costs more, so this paper presents a smart punching bag system which acts as a personal trainer. In boxing, evaluation of punch forces correlated with strike frequencies and reaction time may give suitable information for intrinsic performance of athletes. Doctor's opinion is that the safer limit of force exertion on a punching bag for a normal person i.e. without any knowledge of boxing is half of his/her weight. If this limit is exceeded it causes severe damage to the wrist of the person which is called Carpometacarpal hence the evaluation of punching force is very much important. In this paper an innovative punching bag system is proposed which is embedded with a micro energy generator which generates the energy whenever punching impact is received on the punching. In this way human resource energy is converted into electrical energy which promotes awareness about the renewable energy resources.
