High living pressure
Waste of Energy
There’s a really heavy foot-traffic everyday in Beijing, especially in the subway stations, bus stops and shopping malls, etc.
Pains of Beijing
In such a city of high living cost and intense competition, many people suffer from depression and subhealthy, because of the huge pressure of working,
Beijing is the capital and the second largest city in China, with nearly 20 million people living and traveling in the city.
Many other nations are focusing on the popular green energies such as wind, solar, and wave energy. But what about looking at a more people-centric way of generating energy?
What if they can be highly involved in the energy-saving activities without extra effort? Will they regard the activities as an outlet of pressure?

Our Solution
Power Generating
Hum
an Activities Based
–Absorb the kinetic energy produced by every footstep(2.1 Watt Hours per 600 steps for each single slab)–Energy stored within lithium polymer batteries or connected to devices nearby to directly usage–Fitted into pavement/ flooring in either interior or exterior spaces–An estimated system life of 20 million steps–Cost of $3 vs. $10 equivalent energy per slab
Top surface: recycled rubber tyres, 5mmInternal: recycled aluminiumExterior housing: marine grade 316 stainless steel
–Serve as information gatherers about flow of the people, which can be used to build “Smart Road”–Energy production cycle coincides with consumption peak cycle–Reduce the need of energy companies to oversupply the network in order to sustain the surge in energy consumption during peak times
Piezoelectric materials generate electricity from pedestrian movement .
