ENERGY HARVESTING SOLE
First Claim
1. A system for a shoe sole with at least one module, the module comprising:
- at least one piezo element adapted to produce an electrical signal upon mechanical deformation of the at least one piezo element, wherein the electrical signal is adapted to be used as signal for deriving at least one motion parameter of the shoe sole;
at least a first energy storage and a second energy storage, the at least first energy storage and second energy storages being adapted to store electrical energy obtained from the electrical signal,wherein the second energy storage is loaded only after the first energy storage reaches a first energy threshold.
