Hello Murray,
I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but the military is researching using peizoelectric energy generated from walking (as in troops marching, etc.) to power radios and such. I know I've seen articles on this, but I don't recall where.

More info from this O2-Mailinglist thread:
There is a Human-powered energy expert, as well as a growing body of research at Delft University, via Arjan Jansen - also available on the delft website. They've done experiments on electric keyrings, remote controls, mp3 players and other battery using devices I did interesting experiments with Delft student projects also involving Philips.
Picture shows graduate work from a student of the Southampton University UK, were the technollogy was developed . See: http://www.surrart.ac.uk/product/gallery/stu-b-6.html

Using piezo elements is to my recollection not very beneficial for the environment because of the lead emissions during production.
