Pavegen s new flooring system translates pressure from foot traffic into kinetic energy which can then be used to power lights and other devices.
Kinetic energy floor tiles.
A kinetic floor tile that also housed a bendable solar panel could be 66 as efficient as a standard solar panel but could also continue generating electricity when the sun went down.
The tech tracks data for smart cities and.
Basically if you walk on one your step can help light soccer fields in brazil and nigeria a hallway in heathrow airport or offices and shopping centers in london all locations where these tiles have been installed.
Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output.
This is not science fiction a french company called wattway is working on solar roads that could soak up the sun s energy 90 of the day.
According to the company each step generates from 4 to 8 watts of power.
We use the generated electricity on the spot to power the floor s infinity led lights.
The vegas streetlights are a trial of the company s new kinetic tiles which convert footsteps to electrical energy.
Our roots our story starts in 2008 when we open the world s first sustainable dance club and let partygoers loose on our energy generating dance floor.
This kinetic energy is directly converted into electricity.
British technology company pavegen has built tiles that generate kinetic power from footsteps.
