Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I install these in my kitchen?
A: Yes, the X-1 Quantum is designed for residential use, though high-traffic hallways provide the best ROI.
Q: Does it store the energy?
A: Each tile contains a micro-supercapacitor, but for long-term storage, we recommend a LiFePO4 Battery System.
Q: Is it noisy?
A: No. The 2026 models use magnetic levitation dampeners to ensure a silent, premium walking experience.
