Pavegen Tiles

The latest version of the tile can generate enough current to power a
light for 70 seconds from just three footsteps and generates 200 times
more power than the prototype launched back in 2009. The triangular
shape of the new tiles maximizes the output power. Every part of these
tiles can produce almost similar energy, unlike the rectangular ones, due
to better load distribution capability. Underneath these floor tiles are
vertical electromagnetic induction generators. When people walk on
these tiles, tiny flywheels, hidden underneath, spin with a series of
magnets and copper coils to create electricity. The more people working
on them, the longer the flywheel spins, and the more they rotate, the
more electricity will be generated. Each tile contains unique wireless
communications technology too. It uses only 1% of its power to transmit
data about the number of footfalls and energy generated.

tio2 coating
TiO2 properties, interface:
- This interface takes an active stance and attacks the problem
of air pollution in order to help purify the air.
- The building pulls dirt, grease and bacteria out of the air,
resulting in oxidation and water only.
-Titania can be used to sense the amount of oxygen (or reduce
species) present in the atmosphere)
-Antimicrobial Coatings: The catalytic activity of titania results in
thin layers of the material that exhibit self-cleaning and
sterilizing properties under UV exposure.

Monocrystalline solar
Introduction:
A monocrystalline solar panel is a solar panel comprising
monocrystalline solar cells. The panel derives its name from a
cylindrical silicon ingot grown from single-crystal silicon of high
purity in the same way as a semiconductor. As the cell is constituted
of a single crystal, it provides the electrons more space to move for
a better electricity flow. The cylindrical ingot is sliced into wafers
forming cells. To maximize the utility of the cells, the circular wafers
are wire cut to an octagonal-shaped wafer. These cells have a
unique look because of the octagonal shape. They also have a
uniform color.
