nPower PEG (Personal Energy Generator) is a device which can charge our iDevices using the kinetic energy released while walking down the street. The device has an internal mechanism that transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy, it also has a battery that stores it and then transmits it to the terminal. Although at first glance this seems to be a device that could help us keep mobile terminals constantly charged, the bad part is that it takes 26 minutes of walking to generate the energy needed to talk on the phone for 1 minute.
The nPower® PEG is the world's 1st human-powered charger for hand-held electronics. It uses the energy you generate while walking, running, or biking to charge your smart phone, music player, GPS, and other devices. The PEG gives you access to backup battery power even when you're away from a wall outlet. As long as you're moving, your PEG is charging itself without any additional effort on your part. When your device needs a charge, just plug in to your PEG and press the button.
The device can be placed in a pocket, in a backpack or you can hold it in your hand, but the amount of energy stored increases only as you make more alert movements. Devices of this kind are interesting, they will probably in the future be used on a large scale by the owners of mobile terminals, but only if the energy generation methods are improved and it will not take half an hour to walk to talk on the phone for a minute.
