Floor Tiles That Convert Kinetic Energy Into Electricity

Pavegen systems a london based startup company produced floor tiles that convert kinetic energy from footsteps into renewable electricity.

Floor tiles that convert kinetic energy into electricity.

The dance floor tiles use human movement as a source of energy. Together we are making impact towards a better world. We use the generated electricity on the spot to power the floor s infinity led lights. The sustainable dance floor sdf developed by the dutch company energy floors converts the kinetic energy of the users into electricity.

Our floors have the ability to convert kinetic energy from the public and solar energy into electricity that can be used on the spot. Through this process the floor interacts with the public and involves them in a unique and interactive energy experience. The power generated from the thousands of visitors to. The kinetic energy is converted into electricity which powers the floor s led lights.

The downward force drives an energy storing flywheel inside the tile which spins to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. To do this we keep innovating by creating new ways to inspire people and involve them in the energy transition. My idea was a floor tile that would convert the kinetic energy from a footstep into electricity he says. Every time someone steps on the tile they generate seven watts of power.

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. Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output. Energy floors sustainable dance floor is an interactive floor that engages users in dance and exciting visual experiences while at the same time generating energy to power its own applications. But this conundrum has also become a great inspiration for innovators like laurence kemball cook ceo and founder of the london based start up pavegen.

The floor interacts with the public and involves them in an interactive energy experience. It s like a generator only. S so is pavegen on the right track. Over the last five years pavegen has iterated on a modular floor tile that converts the kinetic energy from a person s footstep into storable electricity.

So dance jump play walk and have fun.
