Does that power peg thing work by shaking it? the design is a bit perplexing.

i used one of those roll-away chargers during my time in the peace corp! the sunshine was definitely ample in mali, but it charged all my electronics!

i’m totally putting my husband to work on that bike generator. he could use a few lbs, and i would love nothing more than to watch television powered by his weight loss. awesome!

LOVE the nPower PEG idea. People forget that we’re walking energy sources and this product makes use of that! Well done, and great reporting!

I want the pedal bike in toddler size so my daughter can burn off some steam while revving up my laptop!

i haven’t had much luck with wind-charging devices. i bought the hymini and it didn’t work very well at all.

i wish there was a way of pumping the electricity you make on the bike into the grid, then just get free energy later

Great ideas here – I had no idea a bike charger could power a microwave.
