Specification of the SEF Modules
p. 2
The SEF Module harvests human power and converts it into electrical energy. One step on the modules can generate between 2-20 Joules, dependent on the weight of the users, type of movement and maximum deflection of the module. The size of each tiles is 500x500x100 mm. The center of the module (450x450 mm) can be made from different materials such as recycled ceramics, recycled rubber, synthetic materials, glass or bamboo. A strong but flexible rubber seal completely seals the module. It is waterproof up to IP65. The housing is made from very strong stainless steel. Even when secured to the floor, the module can be opened from the top and can be removed for maintenance.
SEF integrated in the floor SEF module
The design of the center can be further customized. The colored elements can light up as a form of interaction whenever someone steps on the module. Different set ups and designs are possible, as well as various ways of lighting up the LED panels (slowly, intense, fading, etc.). Here a few examples are being displayed in what way the surface of a Sustainable Energy Floor (here containing of 36 tiles) can be used to create a bigger visual effect. It is also possible use an to evenly laminated tile-space.
There are two cables for easy daisy chaining of multiple modules. The output is a safe, low voltage with a maximum of 65VDC. The SEF modules, when regularly maintained as described our the service contract, have an expected life time of minimum 15 years.

2. Technical Specifications
Specification of the SEF Modules
Installation • • • •
Format and weight: 75x75x10 cm, 15 kg Water tightness IP65 Approved for in- and outdoor use, UV resistant and durable Installation surface should be rigid, ideally the modules are mounted on a aluminum rail system
Electrical • • • • •
Converted power output: 2 to 10 Joules per step 48 – 65VDC Powerbus connection enabled, connection between modules for higher powers enabled The ways of interaction can vary: Direct interaction, lighting up the surface of the module instantly or power a led panel with specific information Delayed interaction, the electrical energy is first stored and later used to light up the modules in a specific way or to feed a low power application Battery pack installed for voltage stabilization (7Ah, 6V/12V), dimensions of the battery pack is dependent on the power consumption of the application
Mechanical • • •
The walking/moving surface of the modules flexes 10 to 20 mm when stepped / driven on. This can be adapted based on the requirements. More deflection may be applied for different type of movement (jumping, dancing, running) Maximum static load 25 kN All parts of the modules (internal and external) are easy to replace
Lighting • •
The modules can have internally installed RGB LED lights The use of the LEDs controlled by DMX protocol
Certificates and compliance • • •
CE and FCC compliant Build according to UL specifications Electrical safety compliance: EN 60950: 2002
EMC compliance: • •
EN 55015: 2000 + A1: 2002 + A2: 2002 EN-IEC 61000-6-2: 2001
Controller: Set DMX address of every module and read out of parameters via RDM

Note: the power in this figure is directed to the grid. This could also be any kind of low power application.
SEF set for use on top of existing flooring. Instead of a frame, a ramp can be applied. The tiles can also be integrated in the surrounding flooring.
