Pavegen tiles are tiels that produce energy when stepped on. Each step on the tile creates a small amount of energy such as 4-8 watts but, if these tiles are put in a very populated area where there are thousands of people walking everyday, a great amount of energy can be produced. Pavegen tiles were tested in London at a subway station during the 2012 Olympic Games and the results proved that it can produce a substantial amount of energy. The energy that is produced can be connected to traffic lights or even charge mobile phones. Overall, it is a interesting step in the right direction concerning alternative energy ideas.
