The nPower® PEG is a backup battery charger for hand-held electronics that uses the energy you generate while walking, running, or biking. Just place your nPower® PEG in your backpack, briefcase, or purse and go about your daily activities. As you move, your PEG will continuously top-off its internal battery providing you with extra power when you need it. –When you’re on the go. And, if you’re in an emergency situation, shaking your nPower® PEG will give you the ability to call for help or get in touch with a loved one.
The nPower® PEG is the only product of its kind. It’s the world’s first passive kinetic energy charger for hand-held electronics. And, it makes renewable energy generation personal.
The nPower® PEG is lightweight, rugged, and easy to use- High-strength polycarbonate frame and titanium casing make the nPower® PEG durable.- Unique, adaptive control system automatically adjusts to your activity to capture maximum power.- Compact, recyclable lithium polymer battery stores energy for up to a year.- Industry standard USB 2.0 interface and universal iGo tip system let you use the nPower® PEG with over 3,000 hand-held devices.
Inventor and entrepreneur, Aaron LeMieux (a.k.a. “Doppler”), came up with the idea for the nPower® PEG while backpacking 1,500 miles on the Appalachian Trail. As a mechanical and biomedical engineer, Aaron recognized the kinetic energy that was being wasted as his backpack rubbed against his shoulders and hips with every step. He also had to stop at towns along the way to buy disposable batteries to keep his devices running. It was during this trip in 1996 when Aaron began thinking of ways to capture this energy and create usable electricity to charge hand-held electronic devices.
