I spotted this power generating backpack at Gizmodo today and thought you guys might dig on it too. The military and students are the first people that come to mind while watching this.

LMAO. I still have the PC version of that game. I still can't understand why they chose to make the characters do that. It was so asinine to have the in-game characters actually run around with a keyboard, but atleast it was worth a few laughs.Now maybe we can have people walking around with their Dreamcast and keyboard and Typing of the Dead in case of a zombie breakout. This is progress! ^^

im going to guess 40w is just its discharge rate, 40w real time seems a bit optimistic from a kinetic energy recovery system.
Why? 40Watts is only ~34Calories/hr. That's only a couple percent of the calories being burned by running at that pace.
You are assuming 100% efficiency.
So just replace the top/back cover of the standard backpack with a 5lb? 12" x 12" solar panel @ around 10 watts. Don't even have to walk.
