Pedestrians Provide the Power Pavegen
Environmentally friendly street panel that stores the kinetic energy of pedestrians footsteps What is it?
Each time the tile is stepped on the slab depresses up to 5mm. 95% of the energy is stored in the battery while the other 5% powers the light on top. How does it Work?
The green portion of the tile is made of recycled tires. • Light is provided by “Advanced LED’s Ltd.” • LED technology is vibration resistant • Up to 50,000 hrs. (~20 yr life) • Low power • Cost Effective Even the design is environmentally friendly
Busy walkways can generate up to 2.1 watts of electricity per hour 5 tiles placed over a well-worn sidewalk would create enough energy to power a bus stop going all night Currently being tested in East London Application
