      Half the reels I’ve seen on Instagram in the past have a copy pasted description that starts with “Japan is turning footsteps into electricity!” Regardless of the content of the reel. It’s on everything from make-up tutorials and videos of cute animals, to videos about Israel’s human rights abuses.

      Love how it compares “Japanese walking” with “10000 steps”. Didn’t the latter start as a marketing campaign for a Japanese pedometer.

    No linked article but I would guess piezoelectrics. I learned about these about 2 decades ago. Cool stuff, but finding good places to use them is difficult.
