Breathing is a motion that never stops for long - unless you are dead of course. Put an elastic belt around your chest that has built in Piezo elements or some other generator in a suitable configuration and you make power from breathing, even in your sleep. It won't be a lot of power since you don't
want nightmares about being strangled by a python, but it could probably keep a cell phone charged or run a heartbeat monitor, or other useful widgets. The device could also help to burn extra calories for those who need it.

An electrical muscle stimulator would be better and safer for burning calories. |

Maybe, but that's not how I read the main intent. I think [kbecker] wanted to extract useful energy from breathing - burning extra calories looks like an afterthought. |

Hook up an electrical muscle stimulator to a muscle-powered generator. |
