#🇯🇵japan is turning footsteps into electricity! Using piezoelectric tiles, every step you take generates a small amount of energy. Millions of steps together can power LED lights and displays in busy places like Shibuya Station. A brilliant way to create a sustainable and smart city turning m...
Yeah but would it be worth the huge investment in turning all their pavements into this? What are their output capacities? Are we 100% sure 'that' specific stretch of pavements would generate a net positive electric output based on their daily traffic? And don't get me started on maintenance cost, the tiles itself experience stress on a daily basis, no matter how durable they claim it to be, it WILL fail at some point which is a non issue with normal paving blocks since they're so cheap. Atp it's better to invest in other clean energy sources like solar, wind, water, and MOST IMPORTANTLY nuclear, yeah nuclear is clean when operated properly.
Sorry i did this just as an irony for the countless "japan is turning footsteps into electricity" caption that has been infecting my algo lately lma
