Abstract

Batteries add size, weight and inconvenience to present-day portable electronic devices. With evolutionary advances in processors and controllers, power consumption of these devices has been reduced to 1-5 W, but this does not eliminate the need for batteries. At this power level the feasibility of harvesting energy from the human body can begin to replace batteries in portable electronic devices. This paper examines devices that can be built into a shoe where excess energy is readily harvested for power generation during walking.
