Beijing Review: If you consider the benefits generated by the electricity production, these tiles are practically free, and they also save energy and protect the environment, making them worth it!
These tiles are made from recycled rubber and stainless steel materials, which makes them durable against stepping on and waterproof. A tile can last for about five years. These tiles can be applied in areas with heavy traffic. The electricity generated can be collected and used for street lighting or illuminating signboards.
According to reports, just stepping on them can generate electricity - a British professor has invented an "energy tile". Whenever stepped on, these tiles will continuously release electrical energy, which can then be collected by a unified lithium battery for re-use.
