Hmm I just had one of those flashes in my mind... dont know if its way too much for saying it but.. Imagine this system - plugged to a teenager's hand... at night he should be able to power up an entire city with NO effort!!

The backpack is deliberately designed to shake around a bit. The up-and-down movement of the backpack's cargo compartment against the frame of the pack turns a gear connected to a generator.

True - as for UPS system would work also! - for the average user there shouldnt be much trouble to start generating energy - although you wont be able to generate energy and play a game at the same time - at least not with out help

Well actually...
I would make a power generator... and so, while you drink beer you can generate up to 7watts for... that gelly dildo.

Ever seen that movie "dildo on a drill"? (they used a dremel) - don't ask.

Sorry this topic is way out of my hands by now..
