SMART SHOESEnergy Harvesting Shoes for
secure and intelligent Geo Localization
Energy Harvesting• What is it?
• Macro scale- wind and solar
• Micro scale- electromagnetic and piezoelectricity
Piezoelectricity
• What is it?• Occurs in polycrystalline materials • (For example: Quartz, lead-zirconate-titanate, Rochelle salt, etc.)
