Walk on pavement to create electricity to safely light your way


One of their example uses is placing their pavement in the street so it would light up the crosswalk as you walk across it. How cool & safe would that be?

From an article at Inhabitat:

Every time a rubber Pavegen stone is stepped on it bends, producing kinetic energy that is either stored within lithium polymer batteries or distributed to nearby lights, information displays, and much more. Just five slabs spread over a lively sidewalk has the ability to generate enough energy to illuminate a bus stop throughout the night. But applications are not limited to the street.
