This work aims to study of possibilities of a realization a device, which will be able to harvest electric energy from human body heat. The concept was proved in different conditions - without physical activity, during walking and running. Based on statistical analysis, the possibility of energy harvesting using a thermoelectric generator is discussed. The amount of harvested energy is evaluated based on experiments.
