The nPower Peg: Create electricity where ever, whenever

As gadgets get more and more complex, the pressures and drain on the batteries becomes increasingly higher. Unfortunately, battery technology has not progressed as far or as fast as other areas of the electronic world, meaning we often bump into our batteries’ limits far too often. While running out of juice on your mp3 player can be a real drag, running lower on flash light power when lost in a woods can be a more serious problem. Thankfully, a new kinetic battery charger desgined by Tremont Electric, dubbed “nPower Peg”, gives the consumers and electronic lovers a little more peace of mind and much greater range from power outlets, walls, and cords. How does all of this new fangled greenness work?

The inventor and founder of Tremont Electric, Aaron LeMiex, said the idea for the nPeg came to him 10 years ago while he was hiking the 1,500 mile Appalachian Trail. (Quite the adventurer wouldn’t you say?) The nPower Peg’s claim to fame comes from its ability to harness personal energy as us human beings walk about through our daily lives. The device then transfers said captured energy to any device plugged into its USB ports. It is important to note that while the nPeg captures kinetic energy for charing portable electronic devices, it cannot store that energy.

Weighing in at 9 ounces and occupying 9 inches by 1.5 inches of air, the Peg won’t necessarily fit in your pocket, but is small enough none the less to not cause any burden when all you have is yourself and a backpack. Since the Peg uses a USB 2.0 port for charging purposes, users will find that over 90% of portable electronics are able to be charged using this revolutionary and spiffy new gadget. Speaking of charging, the Peg is capable of charging most devices up to 80% charge in as little as 1 hour – best keep walking.

If you are in fact interested in purchasing an nPower Peg, I’m sad to announce that as of right now, the device is only available for pre-order. However, shipping of the actual units shouldn’t be much longer. One bonus perk that buyers will receive is the ability to choose between two different adapters for two different devices of the choice.

If you are a frequent globe trotter, adventurer, outdoors man, or any other type of nature lover who also happens to love electronics, never again worry about being away from the grid for extended periods of time. Simply bring the grid with you!
