    Now this is fascinating, thanks for sharing. Similar in university I observed a group of students add piezoelectric transducers inside of a game controller to convert mechanical energy into electrical regeneration of the battery pack. It didn't form a perfect loop of infinite charge but it tripled or quadrupled the lifespan of the wireless controller as I recall.
