Powerslide is an innovative product that turns the sliding motion of common building components such as sliding doors, windows, and drawers into a source of energy. The device uses an integral alternator designed for each application to harness and locally redistribute the energy. By harvesting the residual energy of human effort and converting it to light, the Powerslide directly communicates a single person’s contribution to an energy cycle possible through the metabolic relationship between people, technology and architecture.
