Pavegen | Floor Tiles That Generate Electricity From Footsteps

Pavegen | Floor tiles that generate electricity from footsteps | Green Technologies We Need

This technology is generating electricity from people’s footsteps. Every time people walk, PAVEGEN captures that kinetic energy and turns it into electricity and data. The more people walk, the more power it can create. The founder & CEO of PAVEGEN is Laurence Kemball-Cook.
•
As people step on the tiles, the generators underneath the tiles rotate, generating off-grid power via electromagnetic induction. One footstep will give you about 20 seconds of light, generating 5 watts of power.
•
It gives out data as well, that can be connected to your mobile devices. It's got a reward mechanism based on the number of footsteps you make, allowing you to get store discounts.
•
They have installed in over 36 countries, some being Hong Kong, India, Korea, Thailand, UAE, UK, Nigeria and the USA.  Pavegen has got over half a billion footsteps on their tiles so far. Their latest model produces 200 times more energy than the previous version.
•
For now, these installations are focused on airports, train stations, busy transport sites, sports stadia, and retail destinations. This new technology takes us one step closer to sustainable energy all around the world.

I made a prototye for this in my senior year in college in 2019, and my professor said, "why would people ever want that?" and laughed... the crazy thing is, he owns a product making company... sadly I let him deter me from pursuing this.... A few months later, one of my classmates sent me this video... Never listen to doubters!

How much it cost for installation of 100square meter…?

[madhumitaroy]

This enery is necessary for us any types of eanrgy

[bendover-bzbc]

What about wear and tear ? Extremely cold/hot environment ? Rainy days ? Maintenance ?

Where this has been installed in INDIA

We should put this in clubs!!
And around parks where people are jogging.
Actually just everywhere
But can't really happen now because we have a money system.
And even if it would happen in this money system, it would still be the most trash version of this technology.
Because it has to break to keep the economy going.
It has to break so that city's need to buy new plate's etc etc.
Or else the company doesn't make money, or people that could fix the broken things don't have jobs.


Without money we would make things to last as long as it could.
Example: (Google) Centennial light bulb.
That's a light bulb from the year 1901.
(Technology from 120 years ago!!)
This light shines 24/7 from 1901 till this day.
If we all would have these light bulbs, plus for every light 3 spare bulbs.
All light bulb factory's could close for 480 years.
Meaning:
- Saving Energy for 480 years
- 480 years no pollution of the air from Factories that aren't constantly active anymore.
- No more wasting resources for 480 years
- No more Destroying nature for 480 years
- Actually doing something to stop Climate change for 480 years.

And I'm only talking about light bulbs...
But yeah with money this is a problem.
Without money it's the best solution.

5 watts for 1 second . . . So 5 joules. 1 gram of sugar has 17 kjoules = 17, 000. So it would take 3, 000 foot steps to equal the amount of energy burning 1 gram of sugar. This is one of the most expensive ways to generate electricity possible.
