Piezoelectric transducer

Hi,

I am a student of ME. I am doing my final year project on
piezoelectric in shoes. Piezoelectric is located in shoes, while
walking, piezoelectric compressed and it generates an electric signal.
this electric signal is stored in capacitor in other words, this
electric signal charges a capacitor.

I need a piezoelectri for this application. which type of electric
suits? which specifications i need to buy it? do you have any idea ,
from where i can buy it online?

Thanks.

Regards,
Arjav Bavarva.

a simple source of such transducers if from old Sonalert Buzzers. You
might even check on some junk buzzers from old computers. Some are
piezo. You can also buy piezo elements from outfits like "All
Electronics." Look it up with Google.

Easiest one is a little piezoelectric sounder. Available almost anywhere
that electronic components are sold.

Hey - great idea - then the capacitor discharges, gives a shock to the heel,
and makes the wearer walk faster ! ;-)
