I am not advocating turnstile turbines. The article explored different approaches to harvesting kinetic energy from human activity. I often am challenged by how to report Kilowatts versus Kilowatt/hours. I’m not a physicist but would be happy to receive an explanation on the terms and when to use them properly.

The amounts of energy generated are tiny (less than one small commercial wind turbine), and they get the units wrong (a stock of energy is measured in Megawatt HOURs, a flow is measured in Megawatts).

The writer needs to read a physics textbook, then come back to do some proper energy reporting.
