Facility:Innovate is a sister company of The Facility born from our innovative R&D projects. The devices we develop convert the mechanical movement associated with footsteps or transport vibration into electricity. Our energy harvesting initiatives have arisen from years of experience in environmental architecture. This includes creating an entire building from recycled materials and building a school which doesn’t require heating.

The harvested electricity can then be utilised locally to…
- Power a streetlamp from your footsteps
- Illuminate a railway tunnel from the vibration within the structure
- Charge your iPod whilst walking to the photocopier Illuminate the timetable in Victoria Station via the rush-hour commute
- Power traffic lights through the vibrations produced from passing traffic
- Harness engine vibrations to recharge your mobile phone
- Feed the floodlights of Wembley from spectators climbing the stadium staircases
- Capture lost energy from machinery to sell back to the grid
- Drive the plasma screens at your local gym whilst you exercise
