Eco Factor: Portable device uses kinetic energy to generate clean energy. Tremont Electric, a leader in kinetic energy harvesting, launched its nPower PEG (Personal Energy Generator) at the 2009 CES. The device sets you free to move anywhere without worrying about the charge of your portable devices like cellphones, MP3 players, handheld gaming devices, handheld GPS and digital cameras. The concept is simple and uses kinetic energy to generate electricity. Once you attach it to your hips or your bag while on the move, the up and down movement of your body provides the required kinetic energy to the device. It can charge your devices at the same rate as your wall chargers do. According to recent independent consumer research, PEG could reduce the energy supply for up to 25.4 million kilowatts from the grid. The market offers this eco-friendly energy to 23.2 million Americans who carry handheld mobile electronic devices and walk for approximately one hour per day. The device is compatible with 90% of handheld devices. PEG can generate up to 4 watts of power and most of the internal components are recyclable. The Dark Side: The device is a brilliant method to provide clean energy that helps in reducing your carbon footprint. There is hardly any drawback in it. However, the storage capacity of the device is questionable, as there is no battery inside it. Thanks Jessica Davis
