Innovative infrastructure is opening new ways to generate energy from everyday activity. Engineers are exploring systems that capture motion, vibration, and airflow—turning traffic, footsteps, and urban movement into usable electricity. These approaches fall under concepts like Kinetic Energy Harvesting, where otherwise wasted energy is converted into power. Examples include piezoelectric road surfaces, pedestrian walkways that generate electricity, and small turbines placed along highways to capture airflow from passing vehicles. While these systems usually produce small amounts of energy compared to large-scale renewables, they are valuable as supplemental solutions—especially in smart cities aiming to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. #energy #innovation #sustainability #technology #smartcity #renewable #fblifestyle
