Cleantech company, POWERleap, has developed a flooring system that generates electricity from pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

The energy harvesting components combine piezoelectric technology and advanced circuitry design to produce a rugged flooring product that can be custom designed to suit any venue.
POWERleap is currently working towards it's first set of commercial pilots. To be among the early adopters of this unique alternative energy technology, please contact us.

How can POWERleap be used?

The electricity generated from the system can be stored and used in a wide variety of applications to create a self-sustaining closed loop system. In large installations the electricity can also be fed back into the grid. Furthermore, POWERleap generators can be used as a sensor network to provide an intelligent environment that improves power efficiency within a space.

What is piezoelectricity?

The technology behind POWERleap's energy harvesting solution is piezoelectricity, where electricity is generated from an applied force. Piezoelectricity is a naturally occurring phenomenon exhibited by certain materials that generate an electric field when deformed. These materials range from crystals to ceramics and even some polymers. In these materials when no force is applied, the atomic structure is in equilibrium and there is no net electric charge. However when a force is applied, an electric gradient is created which generates a voltage across the material. When the material is integrated into a circuit, this voltage will create a DC current.
