I sort of remember having a conversation with a friend about piezoelectricity back before any of us even knew the term actually existed (let alone the technology).

If there was a cheap and easy way to recover all wasted energy/heat the world would be so much better off. Cars put out waste heat through their radiators; light bulbs (even CFLs) put out wasted heat. So no, this isn’t free energy…

It’s not about creating self-sustaining dance clubs or trains, it’s about making use of some energy that would otherwise be wasted.
It’s not a LOT of energy, but hey, it’s something.

it wouldnt need to have that much give. The floor already vibrates anyways from all the people moving in unison
