Viralhoodz on Instagram: "In Japan, researchers are developing *smart sidewalks* that transform everyday movement into clean energy. These walkways are embedded with special piezoelectric materials that capture kinetic energy from footsteps. As people walk, run, or jump, the surface slightly compresses, generating mechanical pressure — which the crystals then convert into electricity🔋. The harvested energy can power streetlights, public screens, and even pedestrian flow sensors. This innovation

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
