Piezoelectric carpet, which was tested at the places where there are more pedestrians in the corridors of shopping malls. The results showed that the 25 m2 of the developed carpet produced 1400 kW of electricity per day. Reuse of energy by the people walking in local malls is awesome way of harvesting energy.
