'Crowd Farm' Converts Footsteps into Electricity

www.livescience.com...

This is a really good idea, getting energy from peoples footsteps! Special floor tiles are used so when people step on them, they rub up against each other creating an electrical charge. I like this technology because it's simple yet brilliant. This wouldn't work very well in private homes, but seems very promising for comercial use because a lot of human traffic is needed to generate a decent amount of power.

No offense AceInTheHole.

There is already a thread started on this topic..your right great idea

Thanks a lot aces, if you hadnt posted this I would have never known.
Great idea.
I think if all the ideas were put together wind, solar ect. imagine how much electricity that would be.

They should pave roads with this technology, we would be able to light our streets up for free. There are so many uses for something like this.
