To power the various added features of the body (pace maker, nerve stimulator's...) one could use the breathing movements to produce a modest electrical gain.

1. Piezo electric wires that attach at some points where the most stretching would occur. Maybe the diaphragm

2. fluid transfered between two sacks that have a 2 way mini turbine

3. I dunno

       Ya, only works when your breathing. I guess that rules out any time your not breathing like, DURING A HEART ATTACK.

       Catheter Turbine?

       Just use an artificial blood pump in place of the heart. You can use turbines in the aorta to generate power. Eternal life! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

       Sorry [GutPunchLullabies] That would be a perpetual exsanguination machine.

       Why not just jack straight into the heart? Using a turbine.
