The London-based startup has developed flooring tiles that generate clean energy from human footsteps.
Imagine a future where the energy we need to power our cities is right beneath our feet.
Pavegen’s innovative floor tiles are able to convert the energy from footsteps into electricity, providing a sustainable and efficient way to power our cities of the future.
These tiles are able to convert the kinetic energy from footsteps into electrical energy, through the use of small generators embedded in the tiles, which contain an electromagnetic generator that is activated by the user’s weight.
They can be installed in high-traffic areas, such as train stations, airports, and shopping centers, where they can generate a significant amount of electricity from the constant flow of foot traffic. This means that the tiles can provide a reliable source of power for lighting, security systems, and other essential services in these areas.
The Pavegen tiles are also incredibly versatile and can be customized to fit the specific needs of each location. They can also be connected to a smart grid, allowing for real-time monitoring and management of the energy generated.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Pavegen tiles is that they have the potential to empower communities and individuals to take an active role in creating a more sustainable future. This can be achieved by installing the tiles in public spaces, such as parks and community centers, where people can actively contribute to generating power simply by walking.
