Kinetic floor tiles that transform footsteps into environmental protection
FlowFloor's modular kinetic tiles harvest energy from footsteps along riverfront boardwalks and paths. The harvested power fuels real-time water quality sensors, emergency flood warning systems, and community Wi-Fi — turning casual strolls into infrastructure that protects our waterways.
You're walking along a river at dusk and notice each step feels slightly springy, like a subtle trampoline.
As you bounce along, embedded LED pathway lights pulse softly in response — and you realize your evening stroll is literally powering the water quality sensor that just detected a pollutant spike upstream.
An alert triggers automatically to local authorities. Your walk just helped save the river.
