Abstract
The present invention is able to extract significant amounts of energy from a user who is walking or running while remaining discreetly hidden near an area of the body where many people already carry things (e.g. wallet, smartphone, keys). The user benefits by keeping their device(s) charged for a longer period of time without the need for external batteries. In addition, the present invention encourages an active lifestyle, which has been shown to promote good health and reduce the risk of many diseases.

A biomechanical electric generator, comprising:
- a conversion unit which is removably attached to a first upper leg of the user;
- and
- a transmission component which is removably attached to a second upper leg of the user at a first end and a second end of the transmission component is coupled to the conversion unit, the transmission component transmits relative motion between the first and second leg during locomotion to the conversion unit;
- wherein the conversion unit converts the motion of the transmission component into electrical power.
A method for converting motion of a user's legs into electrical power, comprising:
- removably attaching a conversion unit to a first upper leg of the user;
- removably attaching a transmission component to a second upper leg of a user at a first end;
- and
- coupling a second end of the transmission component to the conversion unit such that the transmission component transmits relative motion between the first and second leg during locomotion to the conversion unit;
- wherein the conversion unit converts the motion of the transmission component into electrical power.
