Create kinetic energy by walking on PaveGen tiles
From now on we can generate our own energy by walking on piezoelectric floor tiles such as PaveGen made by Laurence Kamball-Cook. Produce green energy without doing anything extra. Sounds nice and with this energy-tiling it's possible. For now this is a pilot project where a little energy is generated every time someone is stepping on a tile. Imagine that you could equip the busiest streets of New York and the London subs with kinetic tiles to provide the a part of the city with electricity. The principle? Kinetic energy is collected and converted into electricity. The vibrations ensure a transformation in the tile, which captures the kinetic energy. By incorporating these into the pavement, the pavement generates energy every time someone steps on it. These tiles are thus designed to generate energy from the sidewalk. Its operation is based on the principle of piezoelectricity, whereby kinetic energy is collected from a moving body and than converted to electricity. The ...
