Check out the Bourne Energy BPP-2 hydroelectric backpack which allows you to tote your very own energy generator wherever you are, although you must be in fairly good shape to make sure this 30-pound, 500-watt generating hydroelectric plant stays securely on your back at all times without slowing you down. After all, would you rather walk around with this instead of five dozen solar panels? It retails for $3,000 a pop where the civilian edition is concerned, and can be used in streams moving 7.5 feet per second. Hopefully the prototype will be speeded up soonest possible to meet the 2012 release dateline.
