The New Year's Ball in Times Square is relying on people power to light the numerals 2-0-0-9 as the clock strikes midnight. Visitors to the Duracell Battery Center in the heart of the Big Apple have had the chance to "put the pedal to the metal" on specially designed "snowmobikes," which capture energy through their spinning wheels when the bikes are pedaled. That power has being stored until it is routed to light the night's most important moment. More than 200 pedal hours are needed to illuminate the sign. Duracell is also offering a "Recharge Rest Stop" that allows pedestrians to plug-in and charge their personal entertainment and digital devices -- including digital cameras, cell phones, BlackBerrys, iPods, MP3 players and gaming devices.
