Japan uses piezoelectric tiles to convert people's footsteps into electricity.

These tiles can capture the kinetic energy of your footsteps.

When you walk, your weight and movements put pressure on the tiles.

Tiles will bend slightly, creating mechanical stress.

The piezoelectric material inside the tiles converts this stress into electricity.

Each step creates a small amount of charge, and millions of steps add up to generate enough power to drive LED lights, digital displays, and sensors.

In crowded places like Shibuya Station, around 2.4 million steps a day are contributing to the system.

This power can be stored or used immediately, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and supporting sustainable urban infrastructure.

This approach turns everyday actions into practical renewable energy.
