“Launched at CES by Cleveland-based Tremont Electric LLC, nPower PEG (or personal energy generator) is a novel product that uses human energy to power mobile devices, such as cell phones and mp3 players. ‘It harvests your human kinetic energy -- your up and down walking motion,’ inventor Aaron LeMieux said. ‘With that we're able to charge your mobile electronic devices.’”

MODERN HIKER

“The nPower PEG is a small electrical generator that uses the kinetic force of normal, everyday motion to create a current you can use to charge a variety of devices, giving most of them an 80% charge with only an hour’s worth of walking. Not too shabby. And I guess the $150 estimated price tag isn’t too bad if you factor in all the batteries and/or electricity you’d be saving”

“...But the most unique charger, not just for its utter simplicity, but its deeply green technology is nPower PEG. Developed mainly for hikers, this is a “personal energy generator.” It’s not a battery per se, you are actually creating your own kinetic energy, and doing so simply by your body movement!”

“I believe that if we could harness all the kinetic energy from all things that are in motion, we would have no trouble powering any of our technological devices. This concept has now been applied with the nPower PEG personal energy generator.”

“Battery running low on your mobile phone? Sounds like it’s time for a walk. That’s the reality of the nPower PEG, a personal energy generator that, like battery-less flashlights which require shaking to produce energy, puts Michael Faraday’s (1791– 1867) Principle of Electromagnetic Induction to work to create a totally renewable
energy source for charging your handheld electronic devices.”

“We’ve shown ways to produce kinetic energy to power your iPod and cell phone before, but never have we shown a way that is as easy as this new product. The nPower PEG (Personal Energy Generator) can be strapped onto your hips or your backback, and it charges any of your portable electronics simply by the up-and-down motion from your walking.”

TECH LIME

Primitive though it may be, walking is an endeavor still enjoyed by a few. And these sprightly urbanites will soon be able to get something in return for their efforts (you know, aside from good health): gadget-recharging electricity...Toss it [nPower PEG] into a bag along with any USB 2.0 powered device, and it’ll charge as you walk.”

 “Through independent testing, the nPower PEG has been shown to produce up to 4 Watts of electrical power. The PEG provides an 80% battery charge in one hour, and it meets the USB 2.0 (Universal Serial Bus) standard, which is the default standard for charging handheld electronic devices...Tremont Electric currently has four pending patents based on the nPower technology. A design patent has already been granted.”
