As I said earlier, the "special stuff" to this project are the piezoelectric elements. Those are what make all the power. So essentially what happens, is the piezoelectric elements (Or piezoelectric transducers) have a special property which allows them to convert physical energy into electricity. So when we put them in our shoes, and walk on them, we end up pushing them down in a certain way for them to convert physical energy into electricity! By themselves they don't generate much power, but when you put multiple into a shoe (14 to be exact) you can actually start to get real results.
