Make Your Walking Useful, Make Some Electricity.
Jul 28th
We talked about the vibration powered battery but this one takes the cake. How about generating electricity out of your daily walk? Designer Stephen Chan Wing Tak wants to make this happen through his peizoelectric sidewalk slabs. A 6 layer sidewalk slab consists of a material that can harness the energy stores in vibrations generated by your walking. The energy is used to light up an OLED display on the sidewalk that tells you where you are headed. A completely energy self sufficient system that could change the way people walk.
