Yet another Kickstarter gimmick.
We see them every 12 months or so.
FS at $75: that buys an AWFUL lot of Lithium AA batteries!
Cheers
Perhaps in a few years we'll see something more usable but unfortunately, for now, consumer tech hasn't reached the point where kinetic recovery devices like this really make a lot of sense. Given the weight, cost, and energy production of such devices, you're typically just better off carrying a solar panel or better yet, a pre-charged backup battery. Even a hand crank generator would likely be a better alternative.
