This is more of an idea to get people thinking and talking about the most innate and continuous flows of energy all around. What if there were some kind of device that could be worn (and it would have to be comfortable) on one's face, maybe attached to glasses, that dips just under the person's nostrils. So whenever the person breathes, which is fairly often assuming he is alive, a little bit of energy gradually builds up over time. With as many times as a person inhales and exhales, shouldn't that add up to something? Maybe nanotechnology could help this idea and maybe nothing can, but seriously, you could wear it while you slept, charging up your cell phone with your snores.

The pursuit of neglible energy outputs generated by the body has, of course, many other sources. A nanogenerator working off eyeblinks, another attached to your cheeks to catch frowns and smiles, a major unit attached to your legs and arms to catch body swings when you walk, another unit to work off all those muscles used in defecation, something to catch the whirlwinds of coughing and sneezing, a heat sensitive unit to utilize flaming farts, and a long internal unit for peristalsis.It might be a bit of trouble to disassemble yourself when bathing but all that precious energy should be just compensation.
Hmm, interesting. So if a person's clothing could be made with various technologies to collect the available ambient energy and convert it into a storable media.
Micro-miniature technologies so that they are not apparent for asthetic reasons. Nano-tech thermal difference generators like sterling engines, solar cells, billions of piezo-electric devices made as part of the thread which makes the clothes, where the seams of the clothing are the power distribution systems. I doubt there would be enough energy produced to run PN junctions to heat/cool the individual; but charge a cell phone, maybe.
