A NEW TWIST ON POWER WALKING ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM WALKING ON THESE TILES Can you imagine the power of 50,000 steps a day? Well, Laurence Kembell-Cook, the director of Pavegen Systems imagined it and created Pavegen tiles – a low carbon solution that aims to bring kinetic energy harvesting to the streets. Not surprisingly, the [...]
