You highlighted the problem. When you add up the "benefits" of this technology it doesn't even come close to covering the costs. The costs dwarf the benefits by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. The only benefit is it makes a feel good piece of green energy marketing.
I'm not a paragraph guy but here it is. The piezoelectricity is generated from the bottom meaning you can use anything to cover the top and it'll still transfer the momentum through it. Making thousands of cracks would eventually cause corrosion and build up stopping the compression altogether. Given how it works, it would not be affected by liquid at all, but dirt and dust could cause a layer stopping the full movement of the plates and reducing the power generated. Building this on a massive scale wouldn't cover the power of a large generator, and the cost would be more than doubled. It's not so much about weathering as it is efficiency. Imagine a motor powering a generator vs a thousand hamster wheels, the hamsters might look cool but the entropy would increase as you scale up. If you had a single house being powered by piezoelectric floors, solar panels, and a wind turbine, it still wouldn't cover the cost of electricity from the average house. However it would reduce the cost from your electric company, but not enough to even cover instillation or maintenance. Also it wouldn't be able to run a dryer for more than 30 minutes in full sunlight, with 10 people running in place, with 20 MPH winds outside.

the amount of energy it took to make just one of those pressure plates is several times more energy than this entire array will produce in it's life time. This project is a hilariously stupid scam for idiots.
I really wanna see an analysis of how much it costs to install, how much Co2 is produced to built/install it and then calculate out how long it needs to be active to pay for itself economically and enviornmentally, before needing replacement etc. Then I'd wanna see how it impacts people with walking problems (old guys with walking sticks or wheelchairs). If it clears all that, I'd say lets talk about large scale implementation...
@@Haydinmela yes, but they conveniently did not tell you what bulb.... to be honest, like many videos, you should check the should. Three piezo on one step will produce absolutely peanuts. It is more symbolic rather than real and practical. And to be honest before they recover the energy burnt to produce the tile ans its system, they can be stepped on for a very very long time.

@@KashiFu_72 Huh? This isn't from nothing Why would anyone be tired from walking on these? They wouldn't A pezio electric starter has been around for 150 years. Creates a small bit of static electricity. It's not fake and it's not fantasy Now, cost for watt is another topic. Not sure it's very cost effective
One important fact about these however is that they are more tiring to walk on. Similar to sand at the beach, when the ground sinks beneath you as you walk, it requires more energy per step
That is a short sighted understanding. What is the true material cost to make? What application are the useful in? Since they can produce power locally, there is no need for any additional infrastructure... that has a cost, do not discount it for hyperbole. Of course, how much energy they can produce before failure is important as well. But here is the thing. Even if they cannot produce a lot of power on their own... millions of them do and that results in "less" load on main infrastructure which might be the difference in you sitting in darkness for 8 hours due to overload or not losing power.
@@CD-vb9fiNonsense. There is zero chance that these silly things will ever produce as much power as it took to manufacture them. The narration is a bald faced lie; the most a step can *possibly* produce is about 16 joules (mgh at 80kg and 2cm), which a single solar cell produces every 3 seconds. And solar panels have no moving parts. These self-collapsing walkways are a waste of resources.
@@CD-vb9fiseen another comment say they cost £5.4 Million just for 1.5 meters, I don't know how authentic that is, so take it how you will, but if it really does cost that much, it really isn't worth it, especially with how liberal the UK government is right now, we don't need more tax payer money going to stupid crap.
@@LeafyReuploads If that cost is true, then all arguments are a non-starter because paying for a homeless person to sit there on a pedal bike for several years would be far more cost effective.
I don't understand how walking on these will be harder. If your foot hit the floor with 80j of kinetic energy it will drain 80j and your foot will stop. Like what will happen if you walk on a normal floor. The only difference is walking on the normal floor will turn 80j into heat and sound while walking on these will turn 80j into heat, sound and electricity. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Floor that drain you energy while you are walking is sounds like a game trap.
Before anyone thinks this is the most groundbreaking technology on earth I just want to add that this same technology is used in BBQ lighters to ignite the gas. So these tiles are less advanced than a lighter
True. But I think them utilizing the technology and crowded streets to efficiently create a “free” source of electricity for the city is what hes getting at. Or at least thats what I take from it. They really invested into something cool like that that saved money and is better for the planet. W
Surely these would not generate enough electricity to subsidise the installation and maintenance costs, plus you'd have to install these over a huge area to get any meaningful use. There are so many better more efficient ways to generate clean energy
Bruh, it doesn't rob you of your energy... do you know how physics work? Every step you take, creates kinetic energy. A device that captures that kinetic energy doesn't steal it from you. You created it. Also, sand distributes that kinetic force. It doesn't steal it also. Learn physics man.
It wouldn’t drain energy from you. You’re still making energy as you’re walking. The most discomfort you would have from it is the floor slightly giving under your feet I don’t know how people think this would feel like sand.
What's funny is that people title futuristic videos as "japanese" so japan can get credit and the video gets more views, not only but he is spreading misinformation too.
Because Japan is mystical wonderland detached from the rest of the world, in fact it's so far from "our" world that you can say almost anything and nobody will bother to check the facts
Is it practical tho ? It's gonna be more tiring and uncomfortable walking on these opposed to rest of the sidewalk. It should be roughly equivalent to walking set of multiple little steps of stairs. You are converting your own body energy to electric.
First off: a person is running on a treadmill with it being powered itself, you will be losing power going off of a treadmill. If you try something unpowered in a gym, then there is always risk of someone dropping a weight on exposed bits or spilling something on the electronics. It's better with something like this sidewalk idea, as long as it is built waterproof and hypothetically can withstand the weight of a car in case of a crazy driver
@@idnerfthatput alternators on all of them, link them up and go to a battery store. Dunno if it would be worth it financially. Somebody's probably done the maths on it
@@ListenToChaoman you are a genius. A true hero. Yes let’s use you’re idea. Better yet, why don’t they put an electric motor on top that continuously presses the tiles down… they could even power the electric motor using the tiles that are generating the electricity. I can’t believe you solved the world’s issues in a TH-cam comment!! Man you’re so smart
@@FurasCebulowy also, the amount of energy it takes to produce these, outweighs the amount of energy these things will ever produce. It's a hilarious lie created by the oil industry that has convinced stupid people that they need to be innovative and energy smart. When in fact, 99% of our energy efficiency problems are directly to blame on the fault of industry that continues to go unregulated.
I dont see it working since the car constantly pushes the plates down which makes the road uneven and then makes fuel efficiency less and the road degrades way faster since youd see tire marks on the sides of the plates more. The road cracks and debris and critters and water get inside and system is compromised. Seems impractical to me. But on walkways its a win as long as the plates are waterproof.
Energy can not be created or destroyed, so using it on a road would increase fuel use to constantly "climb" to the next elevated panel so it would be worse for environment. Walking is fine though, more people need to burn those extra calories.
I did the math and it would generate about .000072 cents per step worth of electricity, so that means if it gets stepped on 5000 times a day it would generate 36 cents. It is said to cost about 1.5 million it would take about 12000 years to break even and have 76000 dollars left. Plus it would probably take of ton of money to maintain so if this is the future I don’t want to live in it (Edit) I wasn’t doing the math based on Tokyo. If you look it up this is in England and most of England is country side and the parts that aren’t country side people still drive cars almost everywhere. So I feel I might have underestimated it but I don’t think it will go above 20000 steps per day
I doubt each tile cost 1.5 million, I suspect that more likely to be a grid of them, albeit a small one. My though is what bulbs are they lighting, a 70 kg person would produce about 7 or so joules, that like 0.035 watts for each bulb.
That's not how Innovation works. First come up with the idea, implement and show how viable it is. And then focus on optimisation to lower cost and improve efficiency.
@@TandohAchiever This works if your manufacturing cost is the expensive part, which for a new thing is usually the case. But in this case I doubt gains would be able to beat the material cost and those can't be easily reduced.
people keep idolizing japan, I wonder why they won't move there... Oh wait, I forgot that the japanese are practically slaves to their country, with their EXTREMELY FRIENDLY work culture
@@Yaksha_Indra I doubt it will be cost effective. Even with the amount of rain they get. Nah they have to build more that are effective. It’s just not able. Would like to hear a real solution. But I don’t see one.
Ikr People in this comment section dont know that energy isnt created from void, it has to come from somewhere Here this energy is coming from the people who are putting extra effort in order to walk
Are you telling me i'm gonna have to do a little more almost insignificant effort walking through those 10 meters, just for clean sustainable energy??? Then screw it!!!
I was about to post something like this. Yes! lol. It reminds me of all the recycling of food jars, cans, etc to save the environment, BUT we are required to clean the containers before discarding. How many hundreds of gallons of water per year does that use? Penny Wise / Pound foolish.
@@Badgerlust And Japan has definitely NOT found that balance whatsoever. They don't use a mix of old and new tech because they're in some kind of futuristic technological zen state or w/e, but because their society these days is caught between dramatically rapid changes and developments of a historically unprecedented and almost certainly unsustainable degree, and an extremely rigid culture with business practices so dated and indignant to change that you might end up sending a fax of your entire leasing and employment history to your bank following a mandatory in-person scheduled meeting and follow-up letter so you can change something with your account so the bank's mobile app stops locking you out. And if you don't use the proper affectations and mannerisms during your aforementioned in-person meeting with the bank, they may decide you're unprofessional and close your account, and then you lose your current lease. And your trip across town caused you to miss your office Zoom call so your boss is blowing up your emails and Twitter DMs. And now your smartfridge won't open because it needs a system update. I'm probably getting some of the exact details wrong, but I'm not exaggerating about the staggering amount of technological clunk and bureaucratic red tape almost everything takes over there, and all caught between various types of technologies and methods that aren't easily transmittable between each other, nor is any of it intuitive. And many industries simply refuse to streamline these things because that would be breaking procedure and therefore wouldn't exactly seem trustworthy to them. And this is while other industries ubiquitously accept whatever tech is considered cutting edge, and are constantly changing things all the time. So while there is certainly great use to be had in technologies old and new, that is not why Japan is the way it is. It's that way because of basically the direct opposite way of thinking as that, which is in taking the extreme of either "Everything new is better! Implement it now!" or "Everything new is worse! Keep everything the way it's always been!" A beautiful place, people, culture, and history, but a rather rough and awkward time to be living there, when you consider many of their day-to-day lifestyles.
A piezoelectric plate is a thin layer of material, usually a crystal or ceramic, that exhibits the piezoelectric effect. This effect allows the material to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress, or conversely, to deform mechanically when an electric field is applied. Key Features: 1. Material Composition: Common materials include quartz, PZT (lead zirconate titanate), and some polymers like PVDF. 2. Shape: Typically flat and rectangular or circular, designed to fit specific applications. 3. Electrodes: Often coated with conductive layers on the surface to facilitate electric connections. Applications: Sensors: Converts physical pressure or vibration into electrical signals (e.g., microphones, accelerometers). Actuators: Converts electrical energy into mechanical motion (e.g., precision positioning systems). Energy Harvesting: Generates electricity from ambient vibrations or movements. Ultrasound Devices: Produces and detects ultrasonic waves in medical imaging and industrial inspection. The piezoelectric plate's sensitivity and performance depend on its thickness, material properties, and the operating frequency.
It’s not. The technology takes the energy that would have been lost to concrete in the form of stress and heat (yes, stepping on something creates a tiny bit of heat) and converts it into energy. That’s the piezoelectric effect, converting stress into energy. There is a slight amount of energy loss from the way it moves up and down but that loss is comparable to walking with a half pound pencil bag in your hand. Basically negligible. TLDR Captures energy through piezoelectric effect, some energy lost due to the way the tile sinks and comes back up, but that energy is basically negligible and is converted as well anyways.
@@Amikiry666 honestly I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote that lol. Yeah basically a super super small incline so a hill. also I meant it absorbs the energy that would have been wasted as heat or stress, not that it would absorb the heat and stress.
Which bicycles are that? I live in the Netherlands so I've seen some bikes in my life but I've never seen one using the Piezo Electric effect before. The only ones I know have regular dynamos which use the inductive capabilities of a solenoid when a magnet spins around inside of it.
Having one compressible by a kei car but not destroyed by a semi is tough. Also, this is just making your car a percentage less efficient and taking the energy for themselves

This isnt 2050 technology.😂😂😂 There is also a reason ot hasnt caught on. Cost to much to make, maintenance costs ate thru the roof, costs dont out weigh the benefit, doesn't generate enough electricity whatsoever.

Hey we have those here in Galicia (Spain)
After three years they have enough power to turn on a lightbulb for 15 seconds. Truly remarkable.
the amount of energy it took to make just one of those pressure plates is several times more energy than this entire array will produce in it's life time.
This project is a hilariously stupid scam for idiots.
Did you not watch the video it says 1 step can power 10 light bulbs for 20 seconds
Truly remarkable indeed. You got it wrong it is 15.2 seconds.
I really wanna see an analysis of how much it costs to install, how much Co2 is produced to built/install it and then calculate out how long it needs to be active to pay for itself economically and enviornmentally, before needing replacement etc. Then I'd wanna see how it impacts people with walking problems (old guys with walking sticks or wheelchairs).
If it clears all that, I'd say lets talk about large scale implementation...
@@Haydinmela yes, but they conveniently did not tell you what bulb.... to be honest, like many videos, you should check the should. Three piezo on one step will produce absolutely peanuts. It is more symbolic rather than real and practical. And to be honest before they recover the energy burnt to produce the tile ans its system, they can be stepped on for a very very long time.

Building these things would negate any ridiculous electricity they could ever make
That is a short sighted understanding. What is the true material cost to make? What application are the useful in? Since they can produce power locally, there is no need for any additional infrastructure... that has a cost, do not discount it for hyperbole. Of course, how much energy they can produce before failure is important as well. But here is the thing. Even if they cannot produce a lot of power on their own... millions of them do and that results in "less" load on main infrastructure which might be the difference in you sitting in darkness for 8 hours due to overload or not losing power.
American mindset = no statistic or facts to back it up, if it requires effort its too much work lol. Lazy and fat, embarassing.
@@CD-vb9fiNonsense. There is zero chance that these silly things will ever produce as much power as it took to manufacture them.

This would also make walking harder. That is how conservation of energy works its just a gimmick
I don't understand how walking on these will be harder. If your foot hit the floor with 80j of kinetic energy it will drain 80j and your foot will stop. Like what will happen if you walk on a normal floor. The only difference is walking on the normal floor will turn 80j into heat and sound while walking on these will turn 80j into heat, sound and electricity.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Floor that drain you energy while you are walking is sounds like a game trap.

This would suck to walk on as it literally drains energy from you. Like walking on sand.
Exactly that was my thought! Just cover the entire street if you want less pedestrians.
Okay, that's kinda funny.
It is theft of energy.
Bruh, it doesn't rob you of your energy... do you know how physics work? Every step you take, creates kinetic energy. A device that captures that kinetic energy doesn't steal it from you. You created it.
Also, sand distributes that kinetic force. It doesn't steal it also. Learn physics man.
It wouldn’t drain energy from you. You’re still making energy as you’re walking. The most discomfort you would have from it is the floor slightly giving under your feet I don’t know how people think this would feel like sand.

You are converting your own body energy to electric.
@@PCgmesforever I guess you missed the part where their only installed in some places huh....
Okay, but how much is the initial investment for something like that..?
idea: get electricity by capturing energy from treadmills in gyms
First off: a person is running on a treadmill with it being powered itself, you will be losing power going off of a treadmill. If you try something unpowered in a gym, then there is always risk of someone dropping a weight on exposed bits or spilling something on the electronics.
It's better with something like this sidewalk idea, as long as it is built waterproof and hypothetically can withstand the weight of a car in case of a crazy driver

@@FurasCebulowy also, the amount of energy it takes to produce these, outweighs the amount of energy these things will ever produce.

And we’re back to treadmills..
Maybe this should be used on car roads
it is, on Northridge University campus for 20 years now
Ay not a bad idea it’s been done but great job for thinking about it ur self
All it does is add resistance and increases effort to walk or the fuel economy of your vehicle.
It’s completely impractical.
I dont see it working since the car constantly pushes the plates down which makes the road uneven and then makes fuel efficiency less and the road degrades way faster since youd see tire marks on the sides of the plates more. The road cracks and debris and critters and water get inside and system is compromised. Seems impractical to me. But on walkways its a win as long as the plates are waterproof.
Energy can not be created or destroyed, so using it on a road would increase fuel use to constantly "climb" to the next elevated panel so it would be worse for environment. Walking is fine though, more people need to burn those extra calories.
I did the math and it would generate about .000072 cents per step worth of electricity, so that means if it gets stepped on 5000 times a day it would generate 36 cents. It is said to cost about 1.5 million it would take about 12000 years to break even and have 76000 dollars left. Plus it would probably take of ton of money to maintain so if this is the future I don’t want to live in it
(Edit)
I wasn’t doing the math based on Tokyo. If you look it up this is in England and most of England is country side and the parts that aren’t country side people still drive cars almost everywhere. So I feel I might have underestimated it but I don’t think it will go above 20000 steps per day
Oh no, hes using math HIDE YOUR FUTURISTIC IDEAS EVERYONE!!
I doubt each tile cost 1.5 million, I suspect that more likely to be a grid of them, albeit a small one.
My though is what bulbs are they lighting, a 70 kg person would produce about 7 or so joules, that like 0.035 watts for each bulb.
That's not how Innovation works. First come up with the idea, implement and show how viable it is. And then focus on optimisation to lower cost and improve efficiency.
If this were in Tokyo I would expect more like 100,000 steps a day. More like a million at shinjuku station
@@TandohAchiever This works if your manufacturing cost is the expensive part, which for a new thing is usually the case. But in this case I doubt gains would be able to beat the material cost and those can't be easily reduced.

@@Badgerlustfuck no, you're just being a hipster
@@Badgerlust And Japan has definitely NOT found that balance whatsoever. They don't use a mix of old and new tech because they're in some kind of futuristic technological zen state or w/e, but because their society these days is caught between dramatically rapid changes and developments of a historically unprecedented and almost certainly unsustainable degree, and an extremely rigid culture with business practices so dated and indignant to change that you might end up sending a fax of your entire leasing and employment history to your bank following a mandatory in-person scheduled meeting and follow-up letter so you can change something with your account so the bank's mobile app stops locking you out. And if you don't use the proper affectations and mannerisms during your aforementioned in-person meeting with the bank, they may decide you're unprofessional and close your account, and then you lose your current lease. And your trip across town caused you to miss your office Zoom call so your boss is blowing up your emails and Twitter DMs. And now your smartfridge won't open because it needs a system update.
I'm probably getting some of the exact details wrong, but I'm not exaggerating about the staggering amount of technological clunk and bureaucratic red tape almost everything takes over there, and all caught between various types of technologies and methods that aren't easily transmittable between each other, nor is any of it intuitive. And many industries simply refuse to streamline these things because that would be breaking procedure and therefore wouldn't exactly seem trustworthy to them. And this is while other industries ubiquitously accept whatever tech is considered cutting edge, and are constantly changing things all the time.
So while there is certainly great use to be had in technologies old and new, that is not why Japan is the way it is. It's that way because of basically the direct opposite way of thinking as that, which is in taking the extreme of either "Everything new is better! Implement it now!" or "Everything new is worse! Keep everything the way it's always been!" A beautiful place, people, culture, and history, but a rather rough and awkward time to be living there, when you consider many of their day-to-day lifestyles.

A piezoelectric plate is a thin layer of material, usually a crystal or ceramic, that exhibits the piezoelectric effect. This effect allows the material to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress, or conversely, to deform mechanically when an electric field is applied.
Key Features:
1. Material Composition: Common materials include quartz, PZT (lead zirconate titanate), and some polymers like PVDF.
2. Shape: Typically flat and rectangular or circular, designed to fit specific applications.
3. Electrodes: Often coated with conductive layers on the surface to facilitate electric connections.
Applications:
Sensors: Converts physical pressure or vibration into electrical signals (e.g., microphones, accelerometers).
Actuators: Converts electrical energy into mechanical motion (e.g., precision positioning systems).
Energy Harvesting: Generates electricity from ambient vibrations or movements.
Ultrasound Devices: Produces and detects ultrasonic waves in medical imaging and industrial inspection.
The piezoelectric plate's sensitivity and performance depend on its thickness, material properties, and the operating frequency.
Another application is the common lighter

It is obvious that energy does not come from nowhere; walking along such a road is the same as walking up a small hill.
Yep
It’s not. The technology takes the energy that would have been lost to concrete in the form of stress and heat (yes, stepping on something creates a tiny bit of heat) and converts it into energy. That’s the piezoelectric effect, converting stress into energy. There is a slight amount of energy loss from the way it moves up and down but that loss is comparable to walking with a half pound pencil bag in your hand. Basically negligible.
TLDR
Captures energy through piezoelectric effect, some energy lost due to the way the tile sinks and comes back up, but that energy is basically negligible and is converted as well anyways.
@@shrroom3371 i.e. a small hill
+ The piezoelectric effect does not absorb heat, it collects mechanical energy and converts it into electricity.
