They wouldn t give me details on the generator except to say that it s not piezoelectric.
Generate electricity walking floor.
Once the pressure is relieved electrical current flows across the material.
If the tiles are connected together 40 to be precise the network can produce up to 1kw and this is possible due to the modular nature of these tiles.
Static electricity is the floor covering defective.
As soon as anyone steps onto the floor the tile flexes round about 10mm and that movement is converted into electricity 15 watts on average and up to 25 watts peak.
When pressure is applied to an object a negative charge is produced on the expanded side and a positive charge on the compressed side.
The tiles are modular.
They re called pavegen tiles.
Each floor module can produce up to 35 wp of sustained output.
Our story starts in 2008 when we open the world s first sustainable dance club and let partygoers loose on our energy generating dance floor.
That s where pavegen ceo and founder laurence kemball cook saw room to create a new kind of sustainable energy technology.
Through this process the floor interacts with the public and involves them in a unique and interactive energy experience.
We use the generated electricity on the spot to power the floor s infinity led lights.
A new sustainable experience is born.
While the consumer will find this irritating it does not mean that the floor covering is defective.
His company s pavegen floor tiles generate electricity by harnessing the.
That movement is converted into electricity 15 watts on average and up to 25 watts peak.
Connect 40 tiles together and the network can generate up to 1 kw.
The technology is basically a multifunctional custom flooring system that is outfitted with a wireless transmitter which allows the data from the tiles to be captured and generators that harness.
This kinetic energy is directly converted into electricity.
During periods of low humidity conditions static electricity can be generated walking across a carpet or other floor covering surface.
