Once we have finished wiring the piezoelectric generator, we are ready to install it! All you need to do is slip the plastic piezoelectric generator inside of your shoe, then insert the original sole on top of it. Take the USB cable wired previously and thread it between tongue and the outside of your shoe as shown in the pictures above. In order to mount the battery, stick it between the tongue of the shoe and the laces and tie your shoes tightly. If you have Velcro, I would recommend using it to better fasten the battery pack to prevent it from falling out while running. I would also recommend making a foam cutout of your other shoe's sole so you can use it as a riser in your shoe with no generator in it. I used my shoe that did not have a piezoelectric generator in it as a storage for my mobile device's charge cable, so I will always have everything I need for charging.

EXERCISE

Now that you have finished your electricity generating shoes, there is only one way to see how well they work- EXERCISE! By taking a walk, hiking, or playing a sport for several hours, you should be a able to conduct enough electricity to charge your mobile device. Keep in mind that your battery only charges when ever you take a step, so it should take a while to get a good charge on your battery.
