Dynamic Carpet Clock Using Self-Powered Kinetic Energy Mechanism
Abstract
This proposal introduces a large-area carpet-integrated dynamic clock system,where the carpet surface itself functions as a real-time clock display. The systemadopts a self-powered kinetic energy mechanism similar to wireless doorbells,converting mechanical energy generated by foot traffic into electrical pulses fordisplay updates. Timekeeping is maintained independently by an ultra-lowpower real-time clock (RTC), ensuring accuracy without continuous externalpower supply.
