NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A high-tech ‘bouncy’ pavement which can charge mobile phones by turning footsteps into electricity has been revealed in a UK town.
Telford and Wrekin Council has installed the six-metre stretch of smart paving which generates energy whenever pedestrians walk or run on it.
It then powers charging points next to benches in Telford, Shropshire, where people can plug in their mobile phones.
A solar-powered screen also displays the amount of energy being generated by commuters footsteps between Telford Central train station and the town centre.
