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.

"

DIGITAL CURRENCY: EVERY FOOTSTEP COUNTS

"By stepping on our tiles and connectivity via a mobile APP, each footstep collected is converted into a digital currency that can be used to reward loyalty or to donate to charitable causes." - source

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.

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.

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.

Congratulations!

I hope you enjoy this photo from pexels.

Good luck and happy hunting!

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

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

great hunt

This hunt is best example of conversion of energy principle ,This project is one of the best one and can be used to sustain energy .

Thankyou for such a great hunt

This is in deed a great hunt and innovations and creativity at its best and the amalgamations of kinetic energy and blockchain is really impressive. I would say it is next generations technology with simple ideas.

Thank you..steem on that hunt.

i liked that you used the world amalgamations.that word doesnt get enough use - thanks @sthitaprajna !

WOW !, take a look at this, this product can be very useful when it is mass adoption. Even we can turn on the house with just footsteps. If in a larger scale, of course we can also turn on a city only with this tool.

The concept is so interesting, I can't wait to wait for the realization.

BTW, I'm including this product in my "Top 3 Hunts" today.

SUPER DUPER HUNT @dayleeo

This hunt is sublime,just take a look at innovative way of storing energy by walking energy road, that can use to power just anything cool and integrating with blockchain technology splendid.

I should have followed these hunts since the beginning. It's incredible what the human mind keeps conceiving!

Do you know what the coin is called? :) Or on what blockchain it is (if it isn't a private one)?

i believe they only supply the data for anyone to build their own coin- so based on a town or location or business :) @gadrian

yeah, makes sense. thanks!

Definitely the coolest hunt today! The technology itself is a great innovation. To be able to transform something as simple as people's footsteps into energy that can be used to power something else is amazing. But, to combine that with the Blockchain, add value to the person's footsteps, and then monetize it so everyone can benefit. That's something I can definitely get behind. Best part is that the panels also look nice, so designers and architects won't have to worry about forcing something "ugly" into their design. Lol!

Yes! You get exactly why i was so excited to share this one - thanks so much @cryptocopy :D and they really do look like panels from the future we've been promised for so many years :D not the crap that ends up making it to market ;)

So true. There are lots of good products out there, idea-wise. But when it comes to how they look, that's when they get the problems with adoption.

The idea behind this is absolutely golden! I saw a few years ago in Denmark a team installed piano-like tiles on stair that emitted a sound when stepped on. These stairs were located right next to an escalator. Once pedestrians noticed the sound emitted when stepped on, people started flocking to the stair instead of using the escalator. This product reminds me of that. Soooo cool.

yeah i know exactly the kind you're on about! haha remember that scene in the movie BIG!? best. If only that piano generated energy @mr-chuckles !

Nice one @dayleeo. This reminds me of a video i saw of a gym, that was powering itself from the kinetic energy generated from its cardio machines. Anyway, you hunt is really cool. This product has application on sidewalks, parks, and so many places. Great hunt.

ooh love that! I mean if we're using energy to grow food to give us energy, why not recycle that energy into other machines! I guess the first version of that is the flintstone car lol ;) @karamyog

I was not able to understand the performance of this product, even several times I tried to play back the video and I began to understand a little that this simple tool can control many things. this is amazing

awesome, glad the video helped @rijal123 !

Was going through what happened in the last month definitely one of the neatest projects I saw

this is a no brainer that should just be everywhere. simples.

agreed. someone mentioned above, imagine on school playgrounds! every resess the school could be powered by those little emergy machines we call children! they're an unlimited untapped source !lol

earning school trips money. like it. WHOA, no more worrying about kids going hungry, mine crypto so you can have LUNCH.

i mean....ugh this is why i love blockchain. POSSIBILITIES!

Woow,a block chain road,the block chain is sure growing fast
GREAT HUNT

Now this is something that you can not see everyday. Truly inovative. How cool. Bravo for the team, and the idea. Hope they will implemented at many places. Great hunt.

every sidewalk in busy areas should be made of these

Wow a block chain road, amazing... Great hunt

more like BRICK chain- ammiright? ;) @barineka

It is really so amazing how technology molded the way the world has encountering now. This is really superb. Congrats for this awesome hunt!

@dayleeo, how interesting this energy road is; never heard of it but can't believe kinetic energy steps can be connected to the blockchain. Cool hunt.

Congratulations!
