Yep. These floor tiles store up kinetic energy from the impact of footsteps and can be used to power any number of things!
Imagine these tiles in a convention center, where the footfall powers the aircon, electricity and wifi, I mean... that's cool as hell if you ask me.

I mean they spent some COIN on that video, so it looks promising! I'd love to see these in every mall and convention center. Yay kinetic energy!

Wow, I am really impressed seeing this. Using the impacts of footsteps in creating a sustainable energy alongside contributing to a digital currency would help a lot.
yep totally agree @mcyusuf :D
Blockchain is a technology that has come to stay, I'm glad to see it's application on so many real-life projects, not just for cryptocurrencies.
Great hunt @dayleeo.
thanks so much @ememovic !
I love these kind of inventions, harnessing the energy we already put out in our daily lives (in this case footsteps) and then using it for other energy needs we have.
Excellent hunt @dayleeo, deserving of the Number 1 spot.
thanks so much - im honored to have it but even more stoked someone saw such a cool idea- hope it takes off !!@direwolf
Wow, i read the post, watched the video and i got what you meant. This is super doper lol, this kind of Energy will be all over malls, event centers, soccer field and host of others. I love the transforming and beauty it carries and it is damn lovely seeing that every foot counts. Awesome hunt
i really hope so! if the powers that be decide to accept it :D @tfame3865
This is my favorite hunt of the day. Really interesting concept and useful in several respects.
Favorite Hunt of the day.

daww thanks dood @playitforward !
Taking energy from the floor is a great concept. Other companies in the market are trying this as well, ranging from club/disco floors, to enhancing football (soccer) field with such type of 'floors'. The performance seems to be the issue, well, the performance/cost ratio. But I certainly hope this technology can become cost effective. The aesthetics of the Pavegen v3 I think is pretty cool; I certainly like the way the path looks in the photos above.
yes cost effective and super low maintenence are the keys ! i hope it takes off too @edje !
Pros and Cons
Pro:
-Really innovative idea to power a blockchain or anything
-Can help bring blockchain to the community
Cons:
-A lot of technology hurdles are involve, and maintenance required
good points- thanks @biuiam !
Hi @ dayleeo, very unusual and brilliant hunting.
Every step that a man does is means that he has been using energy to squeeze 75 kg from one to another.
People do not think about the steps that way, because it "implies".
However, in the steps we see how much energy is needed by 1 step.
Now, when this energy is "stealing" or transforming into the accumulating energy in the battery, the genius of these tiles is seen.
We can only imagine their possible mass use ...
For example: Pedestrian zones - that would be mini power plants ...
Good luck with hunting.
thanks for your thoughtful comment @crypto-mammoth !
These would probably work really well in gyms and on playgrounds. Even if the blockchain aspect doesn't take off immediately, just the fact that it harvests clean, sustainable energy is excellent.
oh that's genius- in schools tho!!?, get those little kids using their energy! they could power cities! @elementm
Exactly: the kids get exercise, the school gets free, clean power (and crypto) and everybody wins!
haha love that idea so much @elementm !
Thanks :D
