POWERleap

Elizabeth Redmond has come up with a brilliant idea. She has designed tiles that will change the power made from people walking to electricity. These can be used for sidewalks or on dance floors, or even on roads.
This was posted on Core77 and it seems like a very promising technology. If we could replace sidewalks with these tiles and harness the energy we all do naturally, it help our environment tremendously.

Imagine using a technology like this in the NYC marathon where thousands of people walk in the space. Harnessing this massive amount of energy for something that can be used elsewhere in life is truly amazing. Design is truly amazing.
