Imagenio, football even closer

Movistar has undertaken an innovative project with the aim of bringing the whole football world and to achieve, thus no one is left out of the reach of the energy it emits. It has therefore placed a series of piezoelectric plates in different stages, in order to collect the mechanical energy arising from the animations and the audience jumps and turn it into electricity.

Piezoelectric materials are capable of converting mechanical energy, in the case of the football stadium, would be the steps, jumps, etc., into electrical energy. The larger the plate area and the speed of pressure, more energy is obtained .

One of the most widespread applications of this energy are the electronic pray ignite which, thanks to a piezoelectric crystal are inside, causing a high concentration of electric charge can create a spark that will ignite the lighter.

After achieving collect this energy, it is poured into the network to replicate at the same time on the big LED screen, lower power technology today, that has been placed in the village so you can watch the game. Some piezoelectric materials used are so efficient that they convert 80% of energy applied mechanics on it into electrical energy.

Although it may seem hard to believe and work in countries like London, where there are projects that seek to obtain electricity from soundtracks usually found on any road, coupled with the same piezoelectric materials.

It is also present in the United States, specifically in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which include those mechanisms in the suspension of vehicles, so they can absorb and generate electricity with potholes.

Movistar believes that no one should stay out of the energy that only provides football and, therefore, after testing in the game Real Madrid - Málaga, stand for the use of this technology and will include the hiring Movistar Gol TV Imagenio.
