Pavegen uses kinetic floor tiles to generate electricity. Each step on a Pavegen tile causes the underlying electromagnetic generator to produce up to 3 joules per footstep, this results in around 5 watts while a single person is walking on it.

Celebrating Three Years of Innovation with Crypto Pills NFT Project!
As we mark the third anniversary of the Crypto Pills NFT project, it's a moment to reflect on the incredible journey this digital art initiative has embarked upon since its inception.
Launched by the visionary digital artist Micha Klein, known for his groundbreaking work in digital art and graphic design, Crypto Pills has not only redefined what NFTs can be but has also set benchmarks in community engagement (like Clubhouse spaces running 24hr non stop for 3 months) , artistic innovation, and market impact. (with highest secondary sale of 18 ETH)
*A Launch Like No Other*
The journey began with the launch on 27th August 2021 of 10,000 unique Crypto Pills, each an algorithmically generated masterpiece, representing a fusion of art and technology. The collection sold out in a mere eleven minutes, setting a record and signaling the project's immediate success. This launch was more than just an NFT drop; it was a statement of intent, showcasing Klein's commitment to bringing high-quality, culturally significant art to the blockchain.
*Artistic and Cultural Impact*
Crypto Pills quickly became more than just digital collectibles. They were embraced as symbols of digital identity, offering owners access to an exclusive game 'Crypto Pills Origins' in 2022 that could be played with their NFT as main character, token gated discounts on an incredible range of Pillman themed streetwear, and even real-world exhibitions.
The brilliantly animated 'Crypto Pills Anthem' was the first music video NFT offered as a free mint to the collectors. The project's integration with Micha Klein's broader artistic narrative, including his iconic Pillman character, has woven Crypto Pills into the fabric of digital culture, making it a touchstone for discussions on digital art's value and future.
*Community and Beyond*
The community around Crypto Pills, often referred to as The Pillfam, has grown into a vibrant ecosystem. From exclusive access to new projects to real-world exhibitions, the project has fostered a sense of belonging and shared purpose among its holders. This community spirit was further galvanized by initiatives like charity donations, with a notable portion of proceeds going to Save The Children, highlighting the project's commitment to social good. In 2022 a golden Pillman was sent to the International Space Station, and circled the earth for one whole year, For 2025 Pillman is planned to go to a permanent museum on the moon.
*Innovation in Ordinals*
In the vibrant landscape of Bitcoin Ordinals, where digital art meets blockchain innovation, the Bitcoin Pills collection carved out a niche that captured the imagination of the crypto community. This collection, launched in early 2023 leveraging the Ordinals protocol, represented not just another set of NFTs but a symbolic journey through the ethos of Bitcoin culture, encapsulated in the form of digital pills.
Technologically, the use of Ordinals for this project highlighted the potential of Bitcoin's blockchain for more than just transactions. It showcased how Bitcoin could host digital artifacts that carry cultural, philosophical, or even political weight.
*The Concept Behind Bitcoin Pills*
The Bitcoin Pills collection was envisioned as a metaphorical representation of the red pill/blue pill dichotomy, popularized by "The Matrix," but reimagined through the lens of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Each pill, inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, was designed to offer holders a piece of the enlightenment or awakening often associated with understanding Bitcoin's potential and the broader implications of decentralized finance.
Bitcoin Pills combined art with a philosophical statement, making each piece a conversation starter about freedom, technology, and choice in the digital age. The collection's launch was met with enthusiasm, with many in the community seeing it as a fresh take on how NFTs could embody more than just aesthetics but also ideas and movements.
They became emblematic of the broader cultural shift towards understanding and valuing digital scarcity and ownership on the Bitcoin network. This collection was not just about collecting art but about being part of a movement, a community that values the principles of Bitcoin. The Pills, in their digital form, became a symbol of resistance against centralization, much like Bitcoin itself.
*Looking Forward*
As we celebrate this anniversary, the future of Crypto Pills looks as vibrant as ever. With hints of new collections and continued innovation in the digital art space, Micha Klein and his team are poised to keep pushing the envelope. The project's evolution from an NFT collection to a cultural phenomenon underscores its significance in the digital art revolution.
Here's to three years of breaking boundaries, fostering community, and redefining art in the digital age. Here's to Crypto Pills – not just an NFT project, but a movement in digital culture!
