why not use our body movements to generate electricity?we can use a thin sheet of a piezoelectric such as PZT(lead zirconate titanate) strapped on to our body.Body movements cause compression of the sheet causing it to generate a voltage which can stored in a capacitor.The voltage produced might
not be great but it can to be used to run ur walkmans/discmans.

There have been a number of folks researching using piezo to harvest power for personal electronic devices, mostly from shoes. So far nobody seems to have productized it. See links. |

1- because the components are way too expansive |
|
|
2- there is much more thermal energy wasted around
(well, in hot countries, that is) |

My watch is powered by my movements. Mmmm... kinetic. |
