Stepergy is an innovative indoor tile system with surfaces available in either laminate or marble, designed to seamlessly integrate into modern interiors while providing a sustainable energy solution. These smart tiles utilize advanced piezoelectric and electromagnetic technologies to convert the mechanical energy generated by foot traffic and the weight of objects into electrical energy. When pressure is applied to the tile, piezo electric materials within the tile deform, generating an electric charge through the direct piezoelectric effect. Simultaneously, embedded electromagnetic coils and magnets respond to the movement, creating electricity through electromagnetic induction. This dual approach ensures a high-efficiency energy conversion process. The generated electricity is then stored in integrated capacitors or batteries, which can be used to power various electrical systems within the building, such as lighting, HVAC systems, or electronic devices. Stepergy’s tiles not only contribute to energy efficiency but also offer a sleek, aesthetically pleasing surface that complements any indoor environment.
