Orange Power Wellies: Charge your mobile using heat from your feet

In case you're wondering what the science behind them is... Inside the power generating sole there are thermoelectric modules constructed of pairs of p-type and n-type semiconductor materials forming a thermocouple. These thermocouples are connected electrically forming an array of multiple thermocouples (thermopile). They are then sandwiched between two thin ceramic wafers. When the heat from the foot is applied on the top side of the ceramic wafer and cold is applied on the opposite side, from the cold of the ground, electricity is generated. Simples.

What better use could i possibly think of for this technology....how about making house walls out of it; warm inside/cold outside and vise versa for cooling.
