Floor Tiles In England Turn Kinetic Energy Into Electricity

What we do.

Floor tiles in england turn kinetic energy into electricity.

Up til 35w of sustainable energy per tile. Essentially the tile surface flexes about five millimetres when stepped on which creates kinetic energy that is then converted to produce an average of six watts per footstep. 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. With pavegen s kinetic technology footsteps can provide engaging clean energy generating experiences to power off grid bespoke applications such as lighting and environmental monitoring across a wide range of sectors.

Data capture and visualisation. Most of that energy is wasted just dissipating into the floor tiles. But in one hallway there s something new on the ground. Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output.

Durable and simple to install the floor tiles help to capture 5w of energy for every footstep that is taken on them. The tile flex slightly when stepped on to turn human power into energy. Every time someone steps on the tile they generate seven watts of power. Using distancing grids between the kinetic tiles we kan set up any floor to fit the compliance rules.

This can then be captured for lighting areas. Tile size is 75x75x20. Designed by the uk based technology company pavegen these floor tiles are intended to convert kinetic energy into electricity for a variety of different infrastructure uses. 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.

My idea was a floor tile that would convert the kinetic energy from a footstep into electricity he says. Recent pavegen installations include smart city developments retail destinations sports stadia and education institutions in hong kong india korea thailand. We ve seen these before in race cars and buses but where recovery systems in automobiles convert the kinetic energy normally lost in. Branding is a standard feature.

Designed for use in in high foot traffic areas the tiles convert the kinetic energy from footsteps of pedestrians into renewable electricity which can be stored in a lithium polymer battery or. This kinetic energy is directly converted into electricity. We use the generated electricity on the spot to power the floor s infinity led lights.
