when ever you wake up and walk, you should produce a unknow amount of energy. My point is whenever you burn carlorio, it should become another type of energy. If we have a divide that can stick to our feet, whenever our feet move it can recover energy in kind of battery. Image, a Gold Gym club with 50 people on treadmill try to burn carlori, If they burn 1000 cab they should provide a unknow amout of power, they can charge their cell phone, their laptop or even the tv or combine 50 runner, they can power part of the Gold Gym. And how many people are trying to burn energy today to get better shape. They can get a better shape and make an another source of Power buyond gas.

I understand the concern but it would require another piece of equipment like a small generator system in shoes to harvest this energy. Is it worth the cost of producing and maintaining this extra equipment to gain a very small energy source? Perhaps, if it were made inexpensive enough, but I doubt it.

We aren't efficient engines. Plenty of waste heat.

Of course, I didn't think of this when I suggested my own "human energy mill".

A man patented a shoe a while ago that had a mini generator in the sole, it was a bit of water inside and it worked the same way that any hydro-electric power source works: using water to spin a turbine. I guess that it never took off but he had the same idea.
