Grad Students at MIT Propose Alternative Energy Plan
Grad students at MIT are wanting to harvest the energy produced from the walking of large crowds gathered at malls and other high traffic areas, to create an alternative energy source.

“they want to harness that energy by building in a generating system tied to the vibrations of the floor. As people move around the individual energy is small but when aggregated it could potentially produce a significant amount of power”
Novel green design idea and one that hopefully would propel Congress to create funding initiatives to support such newfound concepts in science and energy.
