Have you ever looked out the window of your office and felt the urge to get away from all the cars and buildings, move out to the country, and live off the land; off the grid?

Well maybe that’s a bit extreme, but creating your own energy to lessen your burden on the planet certainly isn’t.  With the new nPower Personal Energy Generator you can create your own electricity simply by walking around.

The nPower PEG is a small cylinder that you plug your cell phone, MP3 player, GPS, or other small device into and carry vertically as you go about your daily routine.  The nPower uses a new “vibration harvesting technology” to turn the kinetic energy produced through everyday movement into electricity.  It’s not quite magic, but it’s close.

The best part is that charging your device doesn’t take long.  nPower states that “the PEG provides an 80% battery charge in one hour,” which is roughly the same as a wall outlet.  The device should hit the market soon and will retail for $149.00, not bad considering it will continue to produce energy for years as long as you keep moving.

So weather you’re like me, and want to move out to country and still be able to call Mom on Christmas, or just never want to have a dead battery in your cell phone again, check out the nPower PEG as a good source of personal, alternate energy.
