Living the Liminal

Very cool new tech/power possibilities:

A Crowd Farm in Boston’s South
Station railway terminal would work like this: A responsive
sub-flooring system made up of blocks that depress slightly under the
force of human steps would be installed beneath the station’s main
lobby. The slippage of the blocks against one another as people walked
would generate power through the principle of the dynamo, a device that
converts the energy of motion into that of an electric current.
