The document discusses a proposed project to generate electricity from footwear using the piezoelectric effect. It notes that global energy demand is increasing while reliance on fossil fuels exacerbates issues like global warming. The project would harness energy from walking to power small electronics, which could generate huge amounts of renewable energy every day and reduce carbon emissions. Piezoelectric materials in the shoes' soles would convert the mechanical energy of footsteps into electricity through direct piezoelectric effect and charging circuits.
