 Kinetic Energy
The process of finding kinetic energy to harvest is simple; creating the technology to harvest kinetic energy is a little more complicated. The science behind our technology is based on the Faraday principle and Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Our technology is scientifically unique enough to receive a patent, yet very simple to use.
The patented nPower® technology is the world’s most advanced commercialized kinetic energy harvesting technology. When it is rigidly attached to an item with a surplus of kinetic (oscillatory) motion, it amplifies the motion internally with a tuned mass-spring system; when tuned correctly this is known as a mechanically resonant system.
With nPower® technology, the mass-spring system is replaced with a magnetically-active mass designed to pass completely through a conductive loop, creating a power take out (PTO) system. Energy transfer through the PTO is a very complex process due to the variability of the mechanical and PTO systems and the need for consistent downstream power. nPower® encapsulates an integrated technological solution to these items which allows it to create Clean Energy from a previously wasted natural energy resource, oscillatory motions.
nPower® is scalable and it harvests oscillatory motion from a range of energy sources from human walking to ocean waves.

Frequency
The nPower® PEG harvests the kinetic energy present in human locomotion (walking or running). Humans tend to move at a consistent frequency regardless of our height, weight, or body mass index. The nPower® PEG is tuned to this frequency, so all you have to do is walk!
Power
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 nPower® PEG can harvest your walking power and deliver it to your phone to recharge the battery without you knowing that it is working.
Convenience
Carried items (such as a backpack, purse or a briefcase) possess significant amounts of kinetic energy for the nPower® PEG to harvest and deliver to your mobile electronic device. The nPower® PEG can also be secured to equipment that you travel with (such as a kayak or bicycle) to harvest power from these larger items as you travel.
