Abstract
Most human-powered energy-harvesting systems are used to power ubiquitously deployed sensor networks and mobile electronics. These systems scavenge power from human activity or derive limited energy from ambient heat, light, or vibrations. In this article, systems that use human power by walking or running are analyzed, where an alternative system has been designed and implemented that generates energy from people dancing in a club environment.
