Zokuzi on Instagram: "South Korea is using advanced piezoelectric tiles to convert the everyday footsteps of people into clean electricity. As millions move through busy places like Seoul Station, Hongdae, and Myeongdong, the pressure from each step bends the tiles slightly, creating mechanical stress that the piezoelectric material transforms into electrical energy. This power is then used to run LED lights, smart sensors, and digital displays across public spaces, helping reduce the country’s

cute cat on Instagram: "In Japan, researchers are using smart walkways to turn everyday activities into clean energy 4. These roads are embedded with special piezoelectric material that can collect kinetic energy from pedestrians' footsteps. When people walk, run or jump, the road surface is slightly deformed, creating mechanical pressure. Piezoelectric crystals convert this pressure into electrical energy. This energy can be used to illuminate street lights, power public displays, and even moni

portgas D. ayxxn on Instagram: "Yes, Japan uses piezoelectric tiles in high-traffic areas like Shibuya and Tokyo stations to convert footsteps into electricity, powering LEDs, displays, and ticket gates by transforming mechanical pressure into small electrical charges, showcasing a real-world application of sustainable, micro-energy harvesting from human movement. While a single step yields little power, the sheer volume of people creates a steady stream of renewable energy, turning daily commut
