Here's How #Japan Is Turning #Footsteps Into #Electricity

By Samyak Goswami, Aug. 16, 2025 6:15 pm EST

Excerpts: "While Japan's implementation of #piezoelectric tiles is new, the underlying technology itself dates back to the late #19thCentury. The Curie brothers discovered that pressing substances like quartz, topaz, sugarcane, and more induced a voltage across the substance, known as the piezoelectric effect. The converse is also true, as piezoelectric materials also change shape or vibrate when an electric current is passed through them. Due to these properties, piezoelectric substances find use in numerous applications like quartz watches, sonars, and electricity-producing sidewalks. Common kitchen lighters, too, use a piezoelectric material to produce their characteristic spark from the pressure applied to the trigger.

"Piezoelectric substances generally produce a low voltage that depends on various factors. Japan's implementation of the piezoelectric sidewalk generated around 0.1W of power when a 60kg person stepped on a tile, back in 2008. The power from one footstep isn't substantial, but the figure quickly grows when millions of people take a step in crowded places like Tokyo's Shibuya Station. Moreover, the technology has evolved, and more efficient tiles can generate up to 30W of power with each step."

[...]

"The biggest roadblock that has limited piezoelectric tiles to niche applications is the high upfront cost associated with them. The cost depends on their efficiency and can range from $50 to $100. Installing a wide network of such tiles over a large area can quickly shoot up the initial investment. However, research shows that crowded areas such as subway stations are best suited for piezoelectric tiles, despite the high cost. A 2017 research even claimed that these tiles can result in up to 99.93% lower cost of electricity over the tile's lifespan, taking Cairo's busting Elshohadaa station as an example.

"That said, low power output is another big factor that makes piezoelectric tiles economically unfeasible. Conventional renewable energy sources, like solar panels, have evolved over time and can generate more electricity at a much lower cost. Additionally, power generation takes a nosedive in lightly populated areas, restricting the technology to only a few busy spaces. Moreover, higher maintenance costs and frequent repairs due to enormous stress in crowded areas are other factors stopping piezoelectric tiles from becoming mainstream. That said, a high-output tile with greater durability could make its adoption economically feasible in the future."

#SolarPunkSunday #SolarPunk #FootTraffic #ElectricityGeneration #19thCenturyTechnology #TechnologyAdaptation

So, I've been researching a few topics for this week's #SolarPunkSunday... Uses for #Hemp, combining #AncientTechnologies with #ModernTechnology for #ClimateChangeAdaptation , how to make #Lime, turning #Footsteps into electricity in Japan (based on a 19th century technique), and #RegenerativeAgriculture. We'll also be posting about #Rewilding, #RepairCafes, #VisibleMending, #Gardening and other related topics! We hope you'll join us!

🚨 #Sound #Library #PSA 🚨

The #BBC 's sound effect library is now stocked with over 33,000 samples to download for free.

The extensive #archive has been open to the public since 2018 but has since doubled in size and is completely free for anyone to access.

The sound effects and recordings date back to the 1920s, and comprise both those made in the broadcaster's dedicated studio for use in specific BBC programmes, as well as those captured as field recordings out in the world.

Indexed into categories, the sounds span everything from #footsteps and #transport to #nature and machines. Among the plethora of sounds covered are #reindeer grunts, #rain, #clocks, #horses walking in mud, common #frog calls and crowds at the 1989 FA Cup Final. And that barely scratches the surface. 😲

The sounds have been released under a non-commercial use license (a RemArc License) as part of the BBC's RemArc programme, which is “designed to help trigger memories in people with #dementia using BBC Archive material as stimulation".

A RemArc License stipulates that the samples can only be used for research, educational or personal projects, and therefore can't be legally sampled in music that is then sold.
