Abstract

The present invention comprises a pavement module (1) for generating electric energy, with the movement of people and/or vehicles that move over it, causing a small substantially vertical displacement of the topmost surface (10) that actuates a mechanical gear system (2, 3, 4, 5), which is connected to the shaft of a generator (6), activating it to run at a speed that allows it to efficiently generate electric energy. The movement of people and/or vehicles on the pavement surface (10) actuates an arm (2) in an assembly (12, 13, 15) that actuates the gear system, converting the linear motion of the pavement surface on a rotational movement of the gear system (3). The pavement (1) also comprises on its base (9) resilient support elements (11, 14) of the surface (10), and means (7, 8) for ensuring a vertical motion of the surface (10) maintaining it substantially horizontal.
