Every minute we breathe, the rise and fall of our lungs produces almost 1 watt of energy. Now, new technology can absorb our energy to generate electricity! Small devices fitted with piezoelectric (PE) crystals, are being installed under sidewalks, roads, sports stadiums and railways to recycle the energy produced by our daily actions! In the world of energy-harvesting, all vibrations are good vibrations. From sports fans cheering in the bleachers to commuters pounding the sidewalk pavement, micro-movements on any surface are being converted into clean energy!
