The Power Generator For Easy Transport

thumb160x_backpackpowerplantTechnology continues to become more portable, providing convenience and easy access for people on the go. Such examples of this include laptops, cellphones, iPods, netbooks and digital cameras. However, the energy sources for the tech we rely on are usually not so convenient. Batteries have a limited charge, so they eventually have to be recharged or replaced and special power cords and adapters have to be plugged into a stationary wall socket. If energy sources need to become more portable for easy transport, how about a power generator you can carry on your back?

Of course, you may be wondering how this is possible. The answer lies with Bourne Energy’s new development called the Backpack Power Plant or BPP-2. It is a thirty-pound, hydroelectric device that generates fifty watts of energy. That’s the same amount of power you can get from sixty solar panels. The device is about the size of a tall airtank and can be easily carried like a backpack. It can be used in any stream of water deeper than four feet and runs quietly without giving off heat or exhaust.
