AP - As soldiers, hikers and students can testify, it takes energy to haul around a heavy backpack. Now, researchers have developed a backpack that turns that energy into electricity

I really could have used this back pack in school. I had to walk to school everyday with all my stuff. Once in middle school, I of course had all my class books to lug from class to class for the last six years of school. In college, I just gave up and started dragging my bag around from class to class. It would have been nice to have something that could do something good for me besides make life hard. Now if it generated a power drink from energy, then energy would beget energy and the cycle would be complete.
