At the Auckland Bioengineering Institute's Biomimetics lab, researchers have built electric generators that can harness the energy of movements such as running and walking, which they hope will soon be able to power personal devices. A normal shoe dissipates energy as heat when it hits the ground. This technology uses thin stretchable generators to turn mechanical energy into electrical energy.
