The N Power Peg is a device that was developed to be utilized as a source of energy deriving from the kinetic energy concept. The inventor, impetus behind the innovation and the potential success of this product is further emphasized in this paper.
The Inventor
Aaron LeMieux is the founder and CEO Tremont Electric a company based in Ohio. He is also the inventor of the nPower Peg. Mr. LeMieux has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering specializing in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toledo. (About this talk: Aaron LeMieux 2010)He has served the Northern Ohio manufacturing industry as a consultant since 2000; working specifically as a crisis and turnaround manager for struggling small-cap companies. He has experiences in areas of engineering, manufacturing, and management in the industrial environment. He holds multiple patents. As an avid long distance backpacker (About this talk: Aaron LeMieux 2010)Mr. LeMieux became the sole technology inventor and entrepreneur that invented, built, and tested the first npower device and subsequently founded Tremont Electric LLC in May 2007.
The Motive behind the Invention
The driving force behind this invention can be attributed to many factors. However, the most immediate one is (Tremont Electric: The company n.d.) Aaron LeMieux’s thought of utilizing wasted kinetic energy of his steps and movement of his hips while backpacking 1500 miles on the Appalachian Trail in 1996.
As an avid backpacker Mr. LeMieux thought of the brilliant idea of utilizing the kinetic energy from the many steps he took and the rubbing of the back pack against his shoulders. (Tremont Electric: The company n.d.) He also realized that he was going through many disposal batteries that powered his GPS and ...

...le energy around the world. The uniqueness and environmental friendly technology sets Tremont apart from the other sources of energy. In addition (Tremont Electric: The company n.d.)the nPower is scalable and provides opportunities such as small implantable bioelectrical generators, human- motion powered generators, and large scale Wave Energy Converters. In essence the nPower is an industry-making technology that will be sustained for many years.

The first electric battery was built towards the end of 1799 by a man who was both a natural philosopher - a member of the Republic of Letters of the late Enlightenment - and an artisan-like inventor of intriguing machines. The present paper is a discussion of the role played by Enlightenment ideals in the introduction and assessment of artifacts ...
In the 1880s, there was a war going on in the United States. Backstabbing, secrecy, and death were common. However, this war had no weapons. It was a dual between two geniuses. These two men are the fathers of modern technology. The War of Currents was a battle between the famous inventor Thomas Edison, and the mysterious genius Nikola Tesla. Tesla and Edison engaged in an epic competition to create the most efficient, cheap, usable form of electricity. Everyone knows who Thomas Edison was, but not many people know of Nikola Tesla. Tesla was an unappreciated mastermind who changed the world with his inventions, performed many strange experiments, and practically invented usable electricity.

At the age of twenty-four, Norbert Rillieux was a teacher of applied mechanics at a school in Paris. In 1830, he put out a series of papers about steam economy and steam engine work, a prelude to his invention involving steam. In fact, it was during the time that he was writing these papers, most likely, that he created his theory about multiple effect evaporation. Between 1884 and 1854, he created the Rillieux apparatus, a revolutionary invention. In 1864, he patented his first model, and advanced the system for eight more years, and received more patents. It took him ten years to create the final model because he was black, and there were prejudices he had to deal with in addition to his invention.

Thomas Edison’s inventions were simplistic at heart, and they satisfied a direct and immediate need. “Among the best known of his inventions are a stock-ticker machine, the incandescent light bulb, an automatic telegraphy machine, the phonograph, and the motion picture machine” (“Thomas Alva Edison”). All of Edison’s inventions required DC or direct current to work. Edison’s constant use of the direct current power source for all his inventions set his work apart from Tesla’s. The constant need for Edison’s inventions caused a drastic increase in Edison’s productivity. As a young man, Edison developed very productive habits, which he translated into the latter part of...

The Electrobat was one of several electric cars, which competed in a race sponsored by Illinois publisher H.H. Kohlsaat. He had challenged inventors to come up with a car that could travel the distance from Chicago to Evanston and back (58 miles). Electric cars and gas cars competed against each other in this competition. Although none of the cars performed in an especially notable manner, the electric cars failed miserably. It seemed that the slushy country roads generated a great deal of friction, which drained the strength of the batteries quickly.
