This kinetic energy is directly converted into electricity.
Kinetic energy floor tiles.
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.
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.
According to the company each step generates from 4 to 8 watts of power.
Pavegen s new flooring system translates pressure from foot traffic into kinetic energy which can then be used to power lights and other devices.
Energy floors aims to create awareness about renewable energy generation and environmental impact.
Through this process the floor interacts with the public and involves them in a unique and interactive energy experience.
Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output.
The tech tracks data for smart cities and.
We do this by making energy production visible interactive smart and fun.
