Suggestions for a reusable energy product!

[katie_burns]

Hello, I'm a student studying product design engineering in Scotland. Our current project involves harnessing energy from everyday sources such as walking, wind, or door closing, and transforming it into a practical application. Our concept focuses on utilizing the energy generated by the contact between the bottom of a shoe and the ground to create a pedometer (step counter). This could be displayed directly or accessed through a smart device to track the number of steps taken. Additionally, we're exploring the possibility of integrating this step count into a jibbitz for Crocs. Any suggestions, ideas, or tips on how we can proceed with this project would be greatly appreciated!
