faradays law,,, wattage/voltage question?

hi, I am an industrial design major and am working on a project for a shoe. the shoe incorporates faraday's law of magnetic induction so that while you run, a magnet is going back and forth and powering a capacitor. my question is, how might i be able to come up with some rough/general numbers of how much power i could create with a smaller magnet, and would it be enough to take the battery/capacitor out of the shoe and plug into a phone or ipod to power it up? any info or websites i could visit would be greatly appreciated...
THANKS,
Chad

You should ask your technical staff or hire one if don't have one.
I do not feel making free engineering computations to be used in a commercial product.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
