From the article:

Researchers in Wisconsin have designed a sneaker insole that captures the electricity generated by the walker’s steps, reports Mother Nature Network.

Right now, Krupenking and Taylor are estimating between 1 and 10 watts.

The researchers say that no direct physical connection is required to bridge the insole and the wireless device.
