This is pretty sweet. I need to get myself one. From a CNN article,
"Humping along just under 85 pounds (38 kg) of weight in the backpack can produce up to 7 watts of electricity, Lawrence Rome and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania report.
This is more than enough electricity to simultaneously power an MP3 music player, a personal digital assistant, night vision goggles, a handheld global positioning satellite navigation device, and a mobile telephone."
I also learned that the human hip rises roughly 2 inches when we walk as we pivot about one foot while swinging the other one. This is actually how the backpack generates energy, as it is essentially moving up and down with the hip.
This idea is really good cause it utilizes biological energy to generate electricity. Nature always has the most efficient way of doing things; only by tapping into that will we truly benefit and progress.
