would it not make more sense to have this in the sole of the shoe as a energy absorption unity? and maybe if the cloths had micro fibers and magnets woven into them the whole body would act as a generator.

This is great! People could use it to generate enough electricity to light crack pipes anywhere. The money they would save on lighters would pay for thier rehab.

A guy in England has pioneered self powered traffic lights that get their energy from vehicles driving over springy magnets at the lights. I was thinking that the same idea could be applied in busy foyers and shopping malls, schools, etc to generate electricity for the buildings foyer.

I dont think they'd be able to get much power from that for big buildings, maybe enough to light the buildings. Surley it would be cheaper to to use normal electricity?
