Neat idea, but doesn't that kind of take the fun out of it?

Thats what I thought at first too, but they're not saying the thing weighs 85 lbs. They're saying that if you have 85 lbs of crap in your pack that it'll generate up 7 Watts of electricity...

In all seriousness I don't think this is intended for backpackers. I think it's more for urban backpackers, SAR missions, and military. In the not so distant future it looks like they are looking to make it very light wieght making it more useful. I really don't think it is or ever will be for "mountain" backpackers.

I bet they could market something like this for thru hikers...

I gather the current device weighs ten pounds. Until its much lighter, it would make more sense to just carry extra batteries.
