An analysis of the energy flow and energy potential from human energy harvesting with a focus on walking

This paper aims to determine the limitations for electrical energy generation from harvesting mechanical work during walking. The assessment was considered from the point of chemical energy ingested in food, through the development of mechanical work, to the conversion into useful electrical energy...
