L2M – Polycoat Flooring

The proposed technology, called polycoat flooring, aims to ease the electricity bill of Canadian households through no added effort, simply by harnessing otherwise wasted mechanical energy and transforming it into usable electricity. Through a simple and highly intuitive installation process, this product provides an alternative aesthetically pleasing flooring option that generates electricity by simply walking on its surface. This electricity can be used instantly by charging small electronics for example, or it can be stored for later use. Bridging the gap between research and the market for technologies such as the polycoat flooring is the main driving force behind Springboard Atlantic’s core mission, and by supporting this project, they will help drive economic growth in Nova Scotia, and make an impact where it is most needed for Canadians.
