designer's own words:
“ElectroPad” is a user friendly green product that utilizes the technology of Piezoelectricity. Numerous of Piezoelectric Disks are placed inside the pad underneath a tiny bump; each step you take will change the shape of the disk eventually generating electricity. Electricity is then stored inside a clip on USB that can have you own design and pattern to suit your taste. Normally the USB is hidden and can be slide out to charge your phone, laptop or MP3 player. The pad can be fitted into any shoes and an add-on accessory of a crystal flower is also available for high-heels users.
