The Streets are Paved with Joules

We love Pavegen. Paving that turns the kinetic energy from footsteps into electrical energy to power low energy devices such as LED lighting. Imagine the potential in a school playground, or in a busy airport terminal. Innovative and fun*!

The illuminated rubber slabs are currently being trialed in London's East End. Check them out next time you're out for a Jane Fonda.

Provided the lithium batteries don't explode, or the energy is not used to power CCTV cameras.
