Springwise


As an entrepreneur, Springwise is one of my favorite sites! Everyday Springwise offers the latest and greatest business ideas from across the globe. Though this site is far from a start-up, started in 2002, and the technology is not revolutionary, their information is truly unique and worth my daily visit. Springwise obtains its information from 8,000 "Springspotters" in over 70 countries worldwide.

Pedestrian footsteps, by Pavegen Systems, was one of the most ingenious ideas that I was make aware of by Springwise. The pedestrian footsteps convert the downward pressure created by a human, kinetic energy, into usable electricity.



The pedestrian footsteps could eventually be used to power lamp posts or street lights, which would save money for every community across the world.
