With a system of tiles that generate power, the students of the Subire Leon School presented the “Electric Floor” project, which generates clean and renewable electricity that is generated simply through steps.
The Teacher of the Science Division, Inigo Moreno Gonzalez, led the group of students who created this project: Juan Carlos Anguiano Ruiz, Axel Renne Herrera Reyes, Carlos Enrique Juarez Alonso and Luis Alejandro Padilla Lopez, they all work in this project, that aims to generate clean energy from steps and transform it into electrical energy.
Clean energy is considered a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels, and its use contributes to reducing air and water pollution, improving people’s quality of life and fighting against climate change.
Professor Inigo Moreno Gonzalez said that power generating floors are an innovative and sustainable way of generating electricity, since they use the energy that would otherwise be lost and can help reduce the amount of electricity needed from the conventional grid.
Moreno said that the tiles can be installed in a wide variety of spaces, such as shopping malls, public transportation stations, schools, gyms, and public spaces, and can be especially useful in areas where electricity demand is high.
The system is internally manufactured with electric motors, which are configured and connected in two types of circuits. A series circuit to increase and intensify the voltage of each of the motors and configured in a parallel circuit to increase the intensity of the power of each of the motors.
Finally, it was explained that the step is converted into energy through EFs that have a shock absorbing system, which was designed, developed and manufactured in 3D printing.
The step that is mechanical and kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy by means of a train of gears that are connected. Municipal and State Authorities and of the school, including Mr. Alberto Carmona Velazquez, Undersecretary of Environmental Management of the Ministry of Environment and Territorial Planning of Guanajuato, were present in the event.
