The vegas streetlights are a trial of the company s new kinetic tiles which convert footsteps to electrical energy.
Kinetic energy floor tiles.
Through this process the floor interacts with the public and involves them in a unique and interactive energy experience.
According to the company each step generates from 4 to 8 watts of power.
British technology company pavegen has built tiles that generate kinetic power from footsteps.
We use the generated electricity on the spot to power the floor s infinity led lights.
The tech tracks data for smart cities and.
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.
Energy floors aims to create awareness about renewable energy generation and environmental impact.
Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output.
This kinetic energy is directly converted into electricity.
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.
We do this by making energy production visible interactive smart and fun.
