Abstract
Electric harvesting tiles represent an innovative approach to sustainable energy generation by harnessing kinetic energy from human footsteps and vehicular traffic. These tiles, often integrated into pedestrian walkways, pavements, or roadways, utilize piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical stress into electrical energy. This abstract explores the principles behind electric harvesting tiles, highlighting their potential as a renewable energy source in urban environments. Various design considerations, including durability, efficiency, and integration feasibility, are discussed along with recent advancements and challenges. The abstract also examines potential applications, such as powering streetlights, sensors, or small electronic devices, and their role in promoting greener infrastructure and reducing dependency on traditional energy sources. Additionally, considerations for scalability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact are addressed, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and ongoing research efforts in optimizing electric harvesting tiles for widespread adoption in the quest for sustainable urban development.
