@DanielleFong Would it be easier on people's joints to have a floor with some give? If so and the electricity pays for the extra expense, um, maybe. But it's hard for me to believe it would. Just buy a good running shoe or make a cheaper flexible walking surface.

@DanielleFong i’m thinking of a system that works during sex time. place it under the mattress and it generates electricity for the dishwasher. gamify the experience, people will challenge themselves to last longer in order to pay the bills.

@DanielleFong What if we powered the city entirely with tripping hazards?

@DanielleFong ah, yes, finally, we have a way to generate 100 of dollars of electricity for the low price of millions in research, maintenance, and capital outlays

@DanielleFong In space, power is life. Such an innovation can determine if you can create the energy demand to survive and grow elsewhere. It's not dumb

@DanielleFong I think you could get this to the point where it was net neutral to benefit/harm for people walking on it. But the energy harvested would be miniscule and maintenance would be high. You would need some very niche circumstances for it to actually be useful.

@DanielleFong You don’t know what you’re saying. It’s as smart as AI using us batteries.

@DanielleFong Does one deployed even generate enough electricity in its projected lifespan to offset the cost of making it?

@DanielleFong this seems like something where the conversion rate(steps to power) could have been calculated ahead of time?

@DanielleFong doesn't this just make walking more tiring? when you put your foot down on normal ground, you're loading up energy into your arch to spring you up on the next step. if anything transport infra should be doing the opposite, people mover conveyor belts.
