This paper creatively explores and critically inquires into power and energy at scales at which it can be generated by human bodily kinetic motion, with goals of promoting more engaging, meaningful, and sustainable interactions with and through interactive technology and electricity. To do so we delineate and name the research and design space of interactive microgeneration (IμG) and the subarea of human-power microgeneration (HPμG). We then present findings from a qualitative study employing (i) novel design prototypes we designed (e.g., a hand-powered mobile phone), (ii) commercially available products (e.g., a solar phone charger), and (iii) common everyday products (e.g., a kitchen knife, a food processor). Our empirical study and design explorations point to new design and research opportunities and challenges related to the generation and consumption of electrical energy in everyday life.
