“In a rush-hour period in this country, some of the larger stations experience 34,000 people walking through it. “For each footstep we can harvest three to five watts of energy,” says Claire Price, the director of the Facility. The Facility will roll out a prototype energy-harvesting staircase next year and ultimately use the technology, dubbed the Pacesetter, as part of a larger project to revamp London’s South Central subway stations. The company proposes putting small hydraulic generators in floors to capture vibration and convert it into electricity. But the Facility, a London architecture firm, sees it as an opportunity. That’s usually a problem for architects and engineers, who have to design structures to withstand such small but persistent pressure. It may not sound like much, but take the 30,000 or more people who pass through a major-city subway hub at rush hour, and suddenly you’ve got serious power. The average human being generates about eight watts of energy with each step, most of which is expended as vibration. * a library with a wealth of packages to extend NodeBox's capabilitiesĮnergy-Harvesting Floors - New York Times: "Energy-Harvesting Floors * a tutorial with various techniques and examples to get you started * a reference containing a detailed description of each NodeBox command Animations can be exported as QuickTime movies that can be displayed on web pages.
