Each glass tile is a pixel in the pathway s mosaic imagery of earth mars the moon and the international.
Piezoelectric roof tiles.
Piezoelectric floors generate many microwatts up to many watts per step depending on space pedestrians frequency and piezoelectric technology.
Ilan stern a gtri senior research scientist shows piezoelectric tiles that will be used to create a lighted outdoor footpath at the nasa kennedy space center s visitor complex at cape canaveral florida.
The piezoelectric process is also reversible so if you apply an electric current to these materials they will actually change shape slightly.
Electrical power generation using piezoelectric ceramic tile prototype design.
When you step on the load bearing glass tile it compresses the piezoelectric element creating an electrical charge that lights up the cavity s 125 leds in the entire footpath about one thousand glass tiles light up in various colors.
He s holding the electronic components used in the tiles.
