Sole Power is a power-generating shoe insole for charging portable electronic like a cell phones,music players, or GPS devices. Foot-powered, energy harvesting devices aren't anything new. what we're doing differently is building the device into a removable insole so it doesn't need to be embedded in a shoe. This means you can swap it between your favorite pair of sneakers and your hiking boots
HOW IT WORKS:
1. A drivetrain converts the energy of heel into rotational energy, spinning magnetic rotors
2.The motion of the rotors induces an electrical current within coils of wire
3.Electricity travels along a wire and into a lithium-ion polymer battery pack on a wearer's shoelaces

* Waterproof and wheather resistant
*simulated to 100 millions step(i.e. you'll out your shoes first).
*Between 2.5 and 5 miles of walking for a full (i phone) charge
*Passes clinical recommendations for insole size
