Walking or running over the pavement in Telford powers nearby USB port for mobile phones.
A new pavement has been unveiled in Telford that generates electricity when you walk or run on it.Electricity produced from pedestrians or runners using the bouncy section on Station Way powers mobile phone chargers built into a nearby bench.
"In Telford the pavement will make people much more aware about climate change issues... because this is something that is engaging, you can walk across it when you're coming back off the train into Telford, you can see the screen will pop up and tell you the energy you're creating."Jogger Tina Brasenell said she was impressed she could power a phone.
"Anyone that runs will figure out that it gives a little bit so it's really good on the ankles and the knees. It's like running off road, but it's that soft. it's brilliant.""I think it's really good for the future as well. It's handy for people when they're walking around outside and they don't just have a charge port there, so it's just really handy and really futuristic as well," she said.
