Japan is pioneering a sustainable energy solution by installing piezoelectric tiles in busy public spaces, such as train stations, to generate electricity from footsteps. This innovative technology works by converting the mechanical pressure of people walking into electrical energy.
While a single footstep produces only a small amount of power, the collective energy from millions of steps can power small-scale applications like LED lighting and digital screens. This creative approach demonstrates how everyday human activity can be harnessed to create a steady stream of clean, renewable energy, showcasing a future where cities literally power themselves through daily life.
