Project 2.3: Body Kinetics and Energy







Using the concept of parkour as a driver for the building project I have started to look at body kinetics and the way that energy can be harvested from the body to be used in powering a building. I have been looking at paving slabs which generate electricity when stepped on, watches that charge themselves by the movement of the wrist, a knee brace that creates electricity from the motion of walking, gym equipment which puts electricity back into the grid and ways of re-using the bodies heat to warm buildings.
