Descripción de Pavegen: Is smart flooring the next step in renewable energy generation?

On this episode of 22nd Century I chat to Laurence Kemball-Cook, CEO and Founder of Pavegen. Dubbed the Tesla of Smart Cities, Pavegen’s pavement tile solution captures kinetic energy from peoples footsteps and converts this into electricity. By debunking myths of the technology, we discover whether the cost of outlay justifies the benefits, how data captured from the tiles can be used, whether the technology has long term viability in the future and what its like having a duck as a pet.
Pavegen creates high engagement with citizens by converting their footsteps into energy, data and rewards. They do this for smart cities and transport hubs, retailers, brands and educators. Apps, lighting, sounds and rewards provide instant feedback. As pedestrians walk across the Pavegen system, the weight from their footsteps compresses electromagnetic generators below, producing 2 to 4 joules of off-grid electrical energy per step. Low-Power Bluetooth beacons connect to smartphone apps and the system can also communicate with building management systems.
