Wanted to mention; Talk to a Physical Therapists, the human body's designed to conserve energy, so our CG tends to stay within a 4" cube (or so), if & when we're walking normally & properly. (Rather obviously, someone with a severe disability may not keep their CG in that small of an area, so they "pay more" for walking, in terms of energy.) So, tapping the movement of your arms, or your legs, would be a better idea, definitely, than trying to tap an area that the body's DESIGNED to minimize movement of! I've wondered about making a couple of those "Walking weights" you see people walk with, that generated energy while you walk, then after you use your wearable for a while it'd tell you to get up & walk & recharge it <G> That would probably be healthier than an AC plug, but could get old if your computer's a power hog <G> Mark Nicholas Blasgen wrote: > > I talked to a few science majors and the best idea they had was the ide of > using the motion of your legs to generate energy.
