What if you could generate electricity using footsteps? Step in Pavegen which as developed a system that consists of three components—electro-magnetic generators, composite tiles, and you—to produce power. Each step on a Pavegen tile causes it to gently move downward by 10mm. Inside the generators, this vertical motion is converted into rotary motion and then transformed into electrical potential energy through electromagnetic induction. Pavegen's highly efficient technology converts the average adult step into 3–5 Watt seconds of off-grid, clean energy.
Pavegen energy can be used instantly for interactive experiences such as lighting effects, or stored in a battery for future use. Using the energy in real-time creates a direct link between user actions and storytelling, boosting engagement. Stored energy can support other applications, adding greater flexibility.
Pavegen is a clean tech pioneer that transforms footsteps into off-grid energy, data, and insights. Backed by Hinduja Group and Tamar Capital, Pavegen is now scaling globally with new Solar+ and AI-powered engagement to deliver next level growth in smart infrastructure - cleaner, smarter, and more connected cities. The startup is crowdfunding on the Crowdcube website for those wishing to get a step ahead with their investment portfolio.
