How does this work?
- These Tiles was created by Laurence Kemball-Cook. He called it the Pavegen, it generates up to seven watts per step. it is useful in areas where there are a lot of people like busy transport sites like stations airports, and clubs, etc.
- these tiles are also installed underneath a soccer field in Brazil, when people play at night they can generate energy for lights that can last up to 10 hours.

How it works
When pressure is apply to a tile of the dance board, the tiles compress, then spring back once the pressure is released.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When the objects starts to move at a certain speed, it makes energy. This is where energy tiles come in, it's an innovative way to create power using renewable energy by motion. These tiles channel's energy/power by using footsteps.
Through a process called piezoelectricity, it generates alternating current voltage by vibration or pressure. This process uses a piezoelectric transducer
