A new sustainable energy technology has been created which generates electricity by harnessing the power of footsteps . it has created a floor tile that generates energy similar to a kinetic energy harvesting machine ( KERS ) . When the floor tile is stepped on , it depresses by 1 cm , the downward force drives a flywheel inside the tile which spins to generate kinetic energy through electromagnetic waves .
A new sustainable energy technology has been created which generates electricity by harnessing the power of footsteps. Pavegen has created a floor tile that captures energy similar to a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS). When the floor tile is stepped on, it depresses by 1cm, the downward force drives a flywheel inside the tile which spins to generate kinetic energy through electromagnetic induction.
