Energy From Friction Rate Topic: -----

I am planning to make a model or just write a paper in the one week holiday I would get next month.
I have come upon with the idea that energy from friction should be utilised.
Has this been done before?
What would be the theoretical and practical possibility of this?
How would the model go?
What would be the limitations?

If i get such a model made, I would like to install it at crowded places like a bus stop. Energy from the friction generated by shoe sole would run our machine(model).

Is there a way to make a working model of it?

...did you read the article?
Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know?
Is it freedom or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.

Yes, I did. My question, to be more precise, is that how can I make a working model of it. I mean would it possible to show the electricity generation on a small scale and using a little cheap components?

No,

To the best of my knowledge Piezoelectric plates are expensive to manufacture and used in very specific applications. You'd be lucky to get this to work from stuff you can get down your local DIY store.

I would make a non working model. What would you recommend studying to make it?
