We can bring the global community

together, through kinetic energy

created by a universal activity. this is

acheived by placing a kinetic device in

one’s shoe. One can simply donate

energy without being inconveienced.

socially connecting people through

the need to find alternative forms

of energy, this shoe insert gathers

one’s daily kinetic power and deposits

it throughout the community. no

matter how minute the effort, one will

be able to create an impact in order

to aid in fighting to conserve our

resources and save our world.

A DAY IN THE LIFETo help us develop our concept, we analyzed all activities done throughout a day to determine when energy is used and when it has the potential to be gained.

wi-tri-ci-ty:transfering electric energy or power over a distance without wires

i-bar:intelligent tracking system that detects all objects

pi-e-zo-e-lec-tric:elecricity from applied stressthe kinetic energy produced from pressue of walking is sotred in piezoelectric materials, such as a certain varieties of crystals or ceramics. these materials have the ability to generate an electric current from the applied pressure. the piezoelectric materials, and springs to absorb the force of walking, would be contained in the shoe insert. the electricity would be stored in the shoe insert until the individual stepped onto an energy deposit station.

TECHNOLOGYWe researched multiple technologies that have already been developed and we propose to combine several of them to make a shoe insert that has the capability to harness energy and distribute it to the community.

SHOE INSERTWe developed a shoe insert that has piezoelectric devices in them. By creating a shoe insert rather than a new shoe, one can use the insert in multiple pairs of shoes.

1. The inserts obtain kinetic energy

from the impact of walking

2. An energy pad is found at various

publica places accompanied by the

“Wi-Walk” logo

3. The energy is wirelessly transfered

to the pad and distributed to the

community

4. Each individual can see their

impact on the global community

through social networking sites

ENERGY TRACKThis shows the process of using a “Wi-Walk” shoe insert and how the energy is created, collected, distributed and monitored.

“ T o g e t h e r m o r e p o w e r t h a n a l o n e . a c t i v e m o r e p o w e r t h a n s t a t i o n a r y.”

IMPACT IN THE FUTUREWith the use of the “Wi-Walk” shoe insert, generated energy can be harvested and the accumulation of everyone participating, would help make a difference with our energy crisis.
