This is a poor mans Provisional Patent, Heck! you get to read it, . . and at least, . . I haven't taken the fun out of that much !

Don't take your electronic gadgets out to the Wilderness without a nice reliable way to recharge their batteries.

And stay away from Power Outages or get yourself a Gadjet WhaChaMacallitThingy !.

poor mans Provisional Patent

Put an air motor in it fed by the billows to make the rotational motion generating the electricity, and change the standard wedge billows shown instead into a rocker mechanism (like a standard rocker switch - visualize two billows pointing at each others' narrow ends) with pivot point based midpoint on the boot sole, so that it's actually (maybe*) palatable to use while walking rather than having to stand in one place pumping the foot for 20 minutes to generate enough electricity to charge your iPhone.  Because what hiker wants to "hike in place"

*Thinking circa 1 cm total compression at the toe and heel would be tolerable.  These could be a slip-on billows devices used for an hour or so at a time while hiking.  The only thing clipped onto the hiking boot is the bellows apparatus with a small airtube running up to a belt-mounted air motor and dc generator component.  Wiring runs from the belt-mounted airmotor/generator component to the iPhone/whatever.

Viola!

Now you just need to sell it.

[MYK]

Better yet, build the generator into the lower end of a heavy-duty pogo stick.  The purchaser then merely needs to catch, tame, and train a bear to ride it in order to keep said purchaser's batteries charged.

Charging capacity will depend on the weight and species of bear, of course.

Gosh Darn it My apologies, I should have explained this a little better,
well here you go.

This is for the Back Packer and Hiker, Camper etc. that wants to Pack his gear and has some electric devices, Lights Cell-Phone, and rechargeable stuff.

And is conscious of the weight he is packing but wants ample power.
No fuel, lightweight, will work with a upper slide wheel and line.

If you guys want to fill in the parts for me I'd appreciate it !

Sure, that's why I suggested the bear.  The bear can carry his own weight, plus, of course, the weight of the pogo stick.  In fact, add a carrier to the pogo stick so the bear can also carry the tent.  Dependent claim, obviously.

Kangaroo would also work, but would be for antipodal applications, since koala bears are too small.  Probably pointless in a US/EPO/JP/CN app, but would be good if you filed PCT.

[MYK]

Oh -- no need for a carrier on a marsupial-based system, since they have their own pouches already.  Handy, saves one claim in Aus.

If a little hand loaded generator gets you tired of squeezing and their so darn

popular, and appears to work long enough that it has been around for a half a

century, than its stands to reason a successful, model will remain so, . . it's

like a match, you don;t see or use them much any more, but I doubt that you

would want to live without them.

so it goes to say, or so the Wise man says, . . .

About He who goes fast, . . . .

When everybody in the world has a good supply of matches, business will slow

down.

I checked them both.  What hiker wants to stand in one spot bellowsing to charge his batteries?  Instead, make it a walkable component of the shoe as above.  That way the hiker doesn't need to stop hiking.

Not to mention the fact that if JP checks the legislative history from the 1800's, I'm pretty sure he'll find that there was strong support for the proposition that a claim is automatically considered useful, clear, concise, novel and non-obvious if it contains the word "ursine".

Um, wouldn't a fluid-filled flywheel tend to self-damp?

Maybe "fill and freeze", but of course you'd waste more energy freezing it.

Edit - PS there's another easy fix to the damping issue but I'll let you work it out.

Here this should solve your concerns and possibly make you a Happy Camper!

Cause the Pogo Stick and the Electric Sneakers are to expensive for me to build.
