The idea that "electricity can be generated just by walking" is real technology, but it's been slightly exaggerated on social media.
This mechanism is based on the "piezoelectric effect."
🔍 Mechanism:
1️⃣ A person walks → pressure is applied to the floor
2️⃣ The material deforms slightly
3️⃣ That force is converted into electricity
🔁 Conversely, applying electricity can also deform the material (inverse piezoelectric effect).
