Iconoculture: Our current alternative energy source of choice is "crowd farming." That practice — which turns the energy people create as they walk, run and otherwise go about their daily activities into electricity.
The system could be installed in areas of high pedestrian traffic, placing blocks below the normal flooring that bounce and rub up against each other as they're stepped on. This movement is then harnessed and turned into electricity.
America is on the search for alt-energy sources. From wind power to crowd farming, the need to wean ourselves from standard sources of juice and find greener alternatives is inspiring innovators who hope to embrace a savvier, more sustainable future.
Crowd farming is definitely not a residential innovation, but nightclubs, fitness centers and college campuses are popping up as possible venues to harness the power of the people and throw it back into the system.
