The energy harvesting mechanism solves the problem of running out of battery life in remote or inconvenient locations. This invention has been designed to harvest energy from the heel strike phase of walking. The invention involves a mechanism to convert linear to rotational motion, followed by a gear train and electric generator. Harvested energy is stored in a battery to power users' electronic devices.
