Fantastic Power Generation Shoes Face Many Challenges.

At the beginning of this year, a company called Pavegen in the United Kingdom aroused heated debate. Its idea was to use floor tiles to generate electricity.

Specifically, every time someone steps on the floor tile, it can generate seven watts of electricity.

These energy will be stored in the battery, and then provide electricity when needed.

Founded in 2009, Pavegen has been working with many large companies, such as Coca-Cola, SIEMENS, and Australia real estate group Westfield.

In addition, Pavegen's floor tiles are also involved in many projects, such as last year's soccer World Cup, Heathrow airport, etc.

Recently, Pavegen has made new progress.

Its founder, Laurence Kemball-Cook, is right.

A keen interest has been generated, and the technology of Pavegen floor tiles can be applied to shoes, powered by people's walking ways anytime and anywhere.

"We hope to stabilize the power supply through these shoes," Kemball-Cook continued. "You can charge your cell phone on the way to work without using charger at home.

Those runners can even charge music players for jogging.

In addition, Kemball-Cook believes that this

You can also take steps and track walking patterns.

At present, Pavegen's power generation shoes are already large.

Discuss cooperation matters, such as Nike, Reebok.

Although Kemball-Cook is not willing to disclose specific technical details.

It is true that once the shoe is successfully developed, its value is enormous.

You know, an average person will take 216 million steps in his life.

This means that these kinetic energy at the foot of people can be forwards into effective energy through power generation shoes.

Of course, all these need to control the cost of shoes at the right price.

Ampy mobile power

In fact, in the face of the energy crisis today, people are exploring new energy sources continuously.

Last year, there was a mobile power called Ampy, which was similar to Pavegen's power shoes on the crowd raising platform. All of them were to capture human kinetic energy and turn it into electricity.

However, compared with the wearing style of Ampy, the shape of shoes may be more suitable.

Nevertheless, there are still many challenges in the power generation shoes, such as making the floor tiles smaller and thinner, and having some comfort.

Besides, the size of shoes can generate electricity efficiently, and the important thing is how to pfer the power of shoes to mobile phones or other equipment. Despite all kinds of problems, from the scientific point of view, the power shoes produced by Pavegen are valuable, because it is worth expecting.
