This Argentine industrial designer probably hasn’t heard of nPower as he has invented something that is already on the market. this concept charger is targeted at the people leading an active lifestyle, namely skaters and joggers. The nPower and the yet unnamed kinetic charger both rely on a nano-generator to produce electric current by harnessing the energy of motion. The built-in battery is then recharged until it’s full.

This particular green charger can be strapped to your shoe, or attached to a knee pad, arm strap and helmet so you can technically have multiple batteries recharging at the same time. The nPower with its stick form factor probably works best if placed in a backpack or briefcase. for hikers and bikers, the nPower is the better choice; on the other hand, this concept charger with its interchangeable straps makes it ideal for extreme sports (given the finished product has plenty of physical protection for the unit).
