Every step you take generates electricity: How Japans innovative technology is turning walkers into power sources

Japan is harnessing the power of footsteps through piezoelectric technology, turning everyday walking into usable electrical energy. Installed in busy areas such as Shibuya Station, this innovation helps power low-energy devices and demonstrates a practical approach to renewable energy generation in urban spaces. Although each step produces only a small amount of electricity, the overall impact can be meaningful in crowded public areas.
