London shoppers create electricity just by walking down a path installed by Pavegan on Bird Street. Shoppers crossing between Oxford Street and Barret Street can generate power with their footsteps thanks to a 10 sq m ‘pavegen walkway’. According to the london-based manufacturer its V3 panel can turn footsteps into 5W of continuous power, while capturing pedestrian-flow-metrics. This harvested kinetic energy will then be converted into electricity and will power street lamps and bluetooth transmitters for the London street. 帕维根公司(英国一家生产发电地砖的公司)在博尔德街修了一条路,伦敦的购物者只要沿着这条路走,就可以发电。因为这条10平方米的“帕维根人行道”,穿过牛津街和巴雷特街的购物者就可以通过走路来发电。这家伦敦生产商表示,当捕捉到行人流量指数的时候,其V3地砖就可以把踩踏力转化成5瓦持续电能。收集到的这种动能会转化成电能,为伦敦街道上的路灯和蓝牙传输器提供动力。 |
