would it not make more sense to have this in the sole of the shoe as a energy absorption unity? and maybe if the cloths had micro fibers and magnets woven into them the whole body would act as a generator.

This is great! People could use it to generate enough electricity to light crack pipes anywhere. The money they would save on lighters would pay for thier rehab.

just think about it if this was in fact in your clothes. it could be on a smaller scale. and there could be a charger in your pocket that charges

"I am Galstaff, Sorcerer of Light. This knee device could be used to generate electricity while a person is walking. I'm attacking the darkness."

I dont think they'd be able to get much power from that for big buildings, maybe enough to light the buildings. Surley it would be cheaper to to use normal electricity?
