Introduction
This concept uses kinetic energy from running and walking to generate electricity to charge a battery built into the shoe.
Important problem factors in existing shoes that we wanted to improve
Many materials and components
Difficult to recycle
No varietal purity
Fast Fashion
The shift in weight between the heel and the ball of the foot when walking pushes a magnetic mass back and forth. This kinetic energy can generate minimal currents and store them in a battery.
Once at home, the shoe can be discharged at the charging station via induction. In this way, power can be transferred to a power bank or a cell phone, for example.
