Dumb question (please don't mad) Why don't we put springs under massive buildings like skyscrapers that anyway move a little bit with wind? Maybe the millions

Dumb question (please don't mad)
Why don't we put springs under massive buildings like skyscrapers that anyway move a little bit with wind?
Maybe the millions of tons compressing the springs a little bit could result in some electricity?
Or under roads and airport tarmac?
- function_seven 3y agoFor the swaying buildings, you'd almost certainly not get enough power out of it to make it worth the cost and additional complexity to install. For roads, whatever power you generate from the traffic would be less than the additional power those cars require to drive on your road. It would be a net loss. Basically generating electricity from gasoline, with extra steps.
