To power the various added features of the body (pace maker, nerve stimulator's...) one could use the breathing movements to produce a modest electrical gain.
1. Piezo electric wires that attach at some points where the most stretching would occur. Maybe the diaphragm
2. fluid transfered between
two sacks that have a 2 way mini turbine
3. I dunno
Similar idea.

Every time I read the word piezo I become so hungry for pie. [bungston, Sep 19 2007]

Could just use one of those small watch-winders, the ones that wind with the motion of your arm. |

Ya, only works when your breathing. I guess that rules out any time your not breathing like, DURING A HEART ATTACK. |

Dude, frog, that's what battery backups are for. This would greatly prolong the battery life, I think. Not so sure that adding pressure to the lungs wouldn't cause breathing difficulty, though. The lungs would have to work harder to power it. If somebody's having health problems and needs a pace-maker, it might not be healthy, (neutral) |

Just use an artificial blood pump in place of the heart. You can use turbines in the aorta to generate power. Eternal life! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!! |

Sorry [GutPunchLullabies] That would be a perpetual exsanguination machine. |

Why not just jack straight into the heart? Using a turbine. |
