A US company has come up with a baton-shaped device that charges gadgets using power generated by walking, hiking or running. Tremont Electric was in Las Vegas on January 4 for the Consumer Electronics Show, where it will tout the nPower PEG (personal energy generator) as ideally suited for today's gizmo-dependent lifestyles.
"It's for any outdoors enthusiast who is deep in the woods and doesn't have access to a power outlet or for a commuter who constantly needs backup battery power," said Jessica Davis of Tremont.
