M2E power aiming for 2009 release of motion-powered chargers

What do you do when your out in the middle of nowhere without an electrical hookup in sight? Well, if you’re lucky enough to have some decent sunlight, and a solar-powered charger, then the answer is obvious. But, if solar-powered juice-packs aren’t your style, M2E could have just the thing to fit your needs.

M2E announced their motion-powered battery charger last year. With magnets and coils in tow, M2E says that their motion-powered battery charger generates enough juice over 6 hours of cumulative human-motion to add 30 to 60 minutes of extra talk time on a mobile phone. And, a standard wall-plug allows you to use an electrical hookup to juice-up your portable device - you know, for those times when 6 hours of cumulative motion just sounds like too much for your lazy behind to deal with.

The company has plans to integrate its motion-powered technology in hybrid and electric vehicles - converting the jarring bumps on the road in to extended drive-time. For now, M2E is aiming to have their portable charger on market next year. We can’t wait.
