Thats a nice picture cud'nt believe it wud be paris..
that reminds me.. if the energy used to walk/pedal can be converted into electricity say by dynamo or piezo electric. and save it in battery.

say if we had shoes which wud absorb part of the pressure on ground during walking.. and saved it into a charger (say which can be plugged into yur ipod/fm player ;-)
wud it feel as tho we were gliding ? or wud it hardly care to generate any spark at all :-P
if every man made his own power..for his need-

Generator shoes could work (and do). They wouldn't cause you to float though, since energy (or rather, Work) and force are not the same. Ask a 15-year-old physicist. They might actually make walking more tiring, if they were to generate a lot of power, but a few 100 mW for your personal gadgets would be within your tolerance. It might mean stopping for snacks occassionally, but that's what Paris is for.

Fantastic!

Imagine to have power shoes that would work as our metabolism and store energy like a battery! It would serve our cellphones, ipods and little portable things and the best of all (and that is why my "Fantastic!" to your comment comes): We would have to get snacks more often to charge it!!!

Neat! :D
