A flooring system 1 for generating electricity from pedestrians, comprising a plurality of generators 100, each generator having a support which supports a plurality of tiles 200. Each generator generates electricity from linear motion of the support in a first direction. Also disclosed are several related inventions, whereby sensors are used in place of the generators and combined with a processor. The system is arranged to estimate the location of a footstep, direction of a users motion based on time differences, or direction of a users motion based on magnitude of the signal. Two further disclosed inventions include electromagnetic receivers and transmitters associated with a mobile communications device for transmitting information from the sensors. The tiles are preferably triangular, are supported at each corner and may include a frame around the periphery of each tile. |
