Go Green.. produce electricity while u walk

Dr. Cedrick Ngalande has developed the Green Erg Generator—a dynamo that produces electricity from friction generated with the ground while walking. At normal walking speed it can generate 2 watts of electricity..... well thats not a lot but imagine if 1 billion people starting using it we will have 2 billion watts of energy..... Now thats a lot!!!!!

Just a thought :)
