As I was doing a Google search for ideas on small-scale, household electricity generators, I came across a fascinating article, which I would like to share, in the hopes that someone will know how to create one of these energy-harnessing garments. The article is called "How to Convert Excess Body Energy to Electricity" and is found at http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Convert-Excess-Body-Energy-to-Electricity-72381.shtml.
Another thought I had was that there ought to be a way of harnessing the simple power of walking. Why couldn't walking around your house generate electricity? I am sure there is a way, if we ask enough people. Suggestions, anyone???

I just found an article proposing how to use energy from walking to recharge a battery used for artificial organs: "A Gait-Powered Autologous Battery Charging System for Artificial Organs" http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/antaki/articles/Antaki%20-%20Gait%20Power.pdf
Here's another article, reviewing a device described in the magazine Science, which uses walking power to recharge a battery: http://www.livescience.com/technology/080207-people-power.html
