<DIV><FONT size=2>A researcher has developed the hikers version of the Prius'
recharger. It is a knee brace that converts your leg energy and stores it
in a battery. The legs of the guy on the treadmill even look like those
of a hiker. It all sounded promising until I saw the size of that knee
brace. I hope they learn that we need lightweight versions of this knee brace
for recharging our batteries while on the trail.</FONT></DIV>
