walking on sunshine: through solar-powered streetlights - solar powered street lights

Engineers in Las Vegas, Nevada, are testing a new lighting system to illuminate the streets of the city.
It's like magic, these suns.
Electric street lights can be turned on and off when people pass nearby.
What is the purpose of this invention?
Reduce pollution and power costs.
Located in the middle of the desert, Las Vegas is sunny all year round and is an ideal place to use solar energy.
For this reason, EnGoPlanet has recently installed four eco-
Friendly street lights in a busy square in the city.
This system is very simple.
A battery is connected to a circular solar panel above the street light that stores the energy needed to illuminate the square.
But that's not all, and the battery is also connected to the kinetic energy tile built into the sidewalk.
Whenever a pedestrian walks on a slate, the energy generated by the weight of their movement is exploited.
Thanks to the small generator, 4 to 8 watts are generated per step depending on the pressure applied.
If the system proves to be effective, it will be extended to other major US cities such as New York or Los Angeles.
The company also plans to raise funds on the Indiegogo website to provide clean and free electricity to villages in Africa.
