Energetic crowds to power Tokyo Station
Wednesday, 10 December 2008 14:20

Japan has found a way to harness clean energy from thousands of stamping feet that pass through one of its busiest train stations every day.

Panels that generate energy from vibrations have been laid by ticket gates through which up to 80,000 passengers pass every day at Tokyo Station.
Those of you who've been to Tokyo can vouch for the volumes using the Subway there each day.
