Step-Powered Energy
Wow, it’s been three months since the last post about. I’m getting into writing mode again!
Students at the school of architecture and planning at MIT, James Graham and Thaddeus Jusczyk have invented Crowd Farming: a renewable energy source where tiles are designed to fall slightly lower when stepped on, where a small generator placed below converts the vertical movement to electricity. Genius.
In April, the conceptual design won top honors in a student competition sponsored by the Switzerland-based Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction.
I reckon they should put these things inside bed mattresses.
