Investigation of Power Harvesting via Parametric Excitations (2009, background): “The feasibility of harvesting power from a backpack or shoe inserts was also discussed in the literature (Shenck and Paradiso, 2001; Granstrom et al., 2007).”
A 1.9GHz RF Transmit Beacon using Environmentally Scavenged Energy (2003, background): “Shenck and Paradiso [6] have built shoe inserts capable of generating 8.4 mW of power under normal walking conditions.”
A study of low level vibrations as a power source for wireless sensor nodes (2003, background): “96 at 100 dB Temperature gradient 15 at 10 8C gradient 15 at 10 8C gradient [3] Shoe inserts 330 330 [4,5]”
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting using a Synchronized Switch Technique (2006, background): “Examples of applications that benefit or could benefit from such a supply are skis, tennis rackets, shoes (Shenck and Paradiso, 2001), wireless sensors fixed on vibrating frames (Horowitz et al., 2002), etc.”
Broadband vibration-based energy harvesting improvement through frequency up-conversion by magnetic excitation (2010, background): “For example, Shenck and Paradiso (2001) have investigated energy harvesting from heel strikes during walking and have designed power management circuitry for intermittent radio-frequency identification (RFID) transmission.”
Energy Harvesting Sensor Nodes: Survey and Implications (2011, methodology): “It can not handle outward stress and hence a rigid metal backplate is used to prevent damage of the PZT unimorph.”
