Abstract
A power generating tile assembly includes a tile cover plate that is coupled to a rigid base plate to define an interior region therebetween. The tile cover plate vibrates in response to either sounds waves contacting the tile cover plate or an external force being applied to the tile cover plate. The power generating tile assembly includes a vibrationally-activated power generating device that is coupled to the tile cover plate within the interior region. The vibrationally-activated power generating device generates a first voltage in response to vibrations in the tile cover plate.
