The most adventurous geeks would love to have the nPower PEG personal power generator, which will come in handy for juicing up your iPhone for making an emergency call. The nPower PEG uses kinetic energy to generate electricity, unlike a portable solar-powered charger which will fail to work during rainy days.
The PEG is able to power up an iPhone 3 after 26 minutes of walking and provide 1 minute of power for an iPod Nano after 1 minute of walk. It is also meant for gearing you towards more walking or activities in your daily life, thus a possibility for a healthier lifestyle.
The major downsides are it needs too many hours of walking to collect enough juice to charge a smart phone and it weighs 12 oz or 340 g, which is a little burden while carrying it on your backpack. Fortunately, it still allows you to charge it via USB port in those days that you don’t feel like walking. Compatible with various gadgets including MP3 players, mobile phones, digital cameras, and mobile internet devices, and priced at $160.
