Electric Eco-floor
[attachment=56424]
INTRODUCTION:
The eco-floor is a fusion of electronics, embedded
software and smart durable materials.
The movements on the floor transformed by an
advanced electric motor into electric power.
Each person can able to produce 2-20 watts
depending on them.
HISTROY
The sustainable floor in Rotterdam is Britain's first exposure to such technology.
Eco-floor in the form of dance floor was first used in the London in crowded buildings to generate 60% of the energy needed to run the building.
WORKING:
The technology involves building a spring floor and
power generating blocks.
The blocks are made of piezoelectric crystals which
produces current when subjected to pressure.
Due to pressure the spring loaded floor it dips 2cm and activate a flywheel, which starts to capture the kinetic energy of their bumping and grinning and convert it to electricity.
The materials have property of becoming electrically
polarized when mechanical stress is applied this property
known as piezoelectric effect the substance which exhibit
this phenomenon are called piezoelectric material.
It takes advantage of piezoelectric effect certain materials, when squeezed develop a change and produce electricity.
By movement it is converted into an electromagnetic generator under the floor.
ADVANTAGES:
The collection of energy through electronics it
reduces the consumption of water and waste
production by 50%.By this we can reduce the effect
of global warming.
The generated energy can be used to power the
interactive elements of the floor or can be used to
power other systems.
DISADVANTAGES:
The floor can be setup almost any location the only limitation for outside use is that the floor needs to be covered by a tent.
