Walking turns kinetic energy into green energy
Evangel District Topic, 3d ago
Can every step we take generate clean energy?
As America continues to lag behind in creating green technologies to ensure a more sustainable climate future, Japan and several European countries are implementing change using piezoelectric floor tiles to convert footsteps into clean energy. See how taking a few steps can light up the world.
Japan is using piezoelectric floor tiles in busy areas like Shibuya and Tokyo Stations to convert footsteps into clean electricity

Wow, this is amazing. We could be doing that. Instead, our budget is being spent on ballrooms, arches, white house remodeling, pool flubs, and the list goes on. Apparently, Japan and Europe have bigger fish to fry than building monuments to themselves and satisfying personal whims. Thanks for posting. Nice to see innovative ideas.

My thoughts exactly.

I LOVE this concept. Imagine if every home had these tiles installed. Everyone would be generating their own electricity. This is definitely genius.

This is absolutely brilliant. I was unaware of this.
I'm thinking about all the people in the US committed to getting their 10,000 steps in a day....we need to do something with all that energy!

Yes. Brilliant. And now I'm imagining roads being paved with these tiles. There'd be no shortage of cheap electricity! Maybe one day we'll get with it as Japan and Europe have.
