nPower "Kinetic" USB Charger - Stop Giggling & Save the Planet!

Alternative energy manufacturers have finally found a way to generate electricity from the sheer power of childish immaturity. If you can stop giggling at the picture and the thought of anyone using this by hand it's really got a lot of potential. The nPower PEG generates power through the kinetic energy of your walking as opposed to using solar or wind power. While it's a little on the weak side at 5.0V DC @ 200 mAmps it should be enough juice to charge most devices via the convenient and nearly universal USB plug at least while they are off. Just toss it in your backpack and they estimate that with an hour of walking around that you'll have generated enough juice to bring a dead device back up to 80% charge. No obscene hand gestures are required just put one foot in front of the other.

There should be more devices of this type on the rise as piezoelectric and Faraday devices have actually been getting quite a bit of attention lately. With the rising cost of fossil fuels leading to an overall higher energy cost for all parts of the world expect the self-winding-watch to meet the MP3 player very soon. So wipe that grin off your face and pitch in before the Russian body guard jump-slaps it right off your face.
