Field of Stars Design Description An electric charge is generated and stored when a person steps on a light ; the foot strike also sounds a mallet hitting a singing bowl. Sounds link the immediate experience of the pedestrian with the energy generated. The louder the bell, the more effective the charge generated by kinetic energy of the foot fall. In the evening all the lights turn on, bright in proportion to the amount of foot traffic that charged each light.
