We are starting with a nice rhythmic heartbeat, why not harness that to power the pacemaker? The power cell is a spherical chamber with a magnet suspended in the center. The suspension is resonant with the standard heart beat, so the device could either be directly or acoustically coupled to the heart.
The resonant design will allow even small vibrations to magnify till the power can be bled off by inductors arranged around the chamber to produce power.
