When a person walks, pressure is exerted on the ground and this pressure can be converted into electrical energy and it can be used to power electronic devices. A piezo electric generator is placed in the shoe. The power that is generated by piezo electric generator when a person walks is transferred to the device by using a mid-range wireless power transfer (WPT).
