Problem Statement:
One of the biggest challenges in the world today is generating clean energy.
We observed that while the world is looking for ways to generate clean energy. There are so many sources of energy around us that can be harvested. For example, air, water, thunderstorms, and even the movement of vehicles.
About the Innovation:
Young inventors from DiscoverSTEM have designed one apparatus to gather and convert all this energy to electricity.
Construction brick used in infrastructure such as roads and buildings will take advantage of the energy trapped in rain, thunderstorms, and the air currents generated by automobiles. The idea is to pave roads and buildings with these tiles which generate electricity from these natural resources and power the buildings and even electric cars on the road.
