I would think attaching a charger to the knee or elbow would produce more charge.

Interesting idea. Wonder if it would function while attached to something that dangled from a pack (like crocs) or even to the upper portion of a pant leg?

I like this idea (http://www.media.mit.edu/resenv/power.html) even better

shocks in trekking poles would be an even better idea
