talking to myself here. Anyone good at physics here? I really don't understand if this can charge my phone fully or not.

"An average human walking up a set of stairs will expend around 200 Watts of power. When you recharge your cell phone (including iPhones) the most amount of power it will accept is 2.5 Watts. The nPowerŽ PEG can harvest your walking power and deliver it to your phone to recharge the battery."

Ha ha.
Saw that on a CES video on the BBC News website, and immediately thought 'nah'.

1: It's big and bulky.
2: It's overpriced IMHO
3: It's not a new idea. (My nephew has a torch that works on the same principle).
4: For what it's worth you may as well get one of these: solar-charger/. Less expensive and a lot more portable IMO, (attach it to the top of your rucksack and away you go).
