And it was actually worse, it would take 13 hours of activity to charge a iPhone 6 as per the source! I would be surprised if it ran more than 8 hours on a full charge, so that's almost half the already disappointing claim.

Actually this could be useful, say if you had 4 of these device strapped on. Two for each arm and two for each leg. That should be enough to charge a phone playing music when running right?

That would be ridiculous looking and pricey won't it.

It's 140 grams and costs 75$. 

 

I could see people paying 300$ for a setup where it'll actually work. Where runners/jogger can go jogging without worrying about any battery usage on their phone (or even charging it)

Not that I think its weighty, it will just look ridiculous. Anyhow even with 4 they probably would be an inconvenience since you have to switch between em.

and people wonder why banks turn down their loan requests or why they can't get a rich person to back their product.

it's because people are taking risks on your product or service that most likely won't work or work well enough.

But it said 1 hour for 1 hours use, it never stated that 1 hour of exercise would fully charge a phone

13 hours of exercise would charge a iPhone 6, which will probably give you around 5-8 hours of screen on time. So that  5-8/13 when it should be 13/13 as each hour of exercise should give you on hour of usage.
