The latest version of the nPower PEG has been on the market for a little while now and is getting decent reviews. The price has gone down to $130 and you can get free shipping if you use this code: IN5SCKZS

I'm interested, but not $150 worth. It must be the same principle as the shaker flashlights, with a small spring added. Is the spring adjustable to be resonant with my stride? I don't have that many low V gadgets, mainly digital camera and GPS, and I suspect it doesn't put out enough voltage for them. But I'd also think in terms of an LED lights and such.

I don't know of you're the one who talked of exercise machine/generators, but I'm especially interested in that and hoping to build one from bike and car parts, probably just for my own use. But it seems most generators (or DC motors redefined) need high rpm to get much voltage. I find gearing up from pedaling speed for hopefully 12V is difficult. Do you have any info on such?

Ever tried one of those rechargeable flashlights that you have to shake to charge ?
I sure hope this thing works better than those worthless pieces of excrement.

It's a good concept, I just have a lot of questions about the execution. For instance, how careful do you have to be about the way the unit is oriented. They imply that you can just throw it in your bookbag or purse with the item to be recharged, but common sense seems to indicate that the unit would have to be oriented parallel to the direction of body movement to work.

I'd like to try one, but doubtful I would pay $150 to test it. Will be looking for product reviews after they become available...TheMANwithNoName

Oh my gosh. This is actually something I would REALLY like to have! Actually, I would've *really* liked it back when I worked as a cart-pusher for Wal-Mart. When I had an MP3 player with replaceable batteries, I would have them go dead every other day (if I was lucky). When I got an iPod, with the non-replaceable, it was even worse when it went dead in the middle of the day.

Not only that, but as the press release states, this is a huge power saver. Compared to this, buying "disposable" batteries, or even charging from an outlet, seems downright wasteful.

That is, if this product works as advertised. Though, even if it's less efficient than it says, but still works, it's still really, really great.

I will keep an eye on this.
