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. The craziest part is that it is supposed to charge at the same rate that a wall charger would.

Stay tuned to Green Power to pre-order your own when they become available.
