It's silly that we have so many muscles yet are so completely at a loss to produce power when our gadgets die. I mean, we have the power! We just don't have any way to get it into our iPod. Until now. This awesome little gadget converts your arm-power to electric power, and pumps it into your favorite gadget. It might not be as awesome as a pull-string charger, but it's a good first step.Via SciFi Blog

Hi,
While this is a great concept, the way it has been done is very bad. I had one of those, and it broke very quickly. The engineering part has been neglected....!
If I come across one that has been done well, I might give it another try...

Paul,
There is one company I know of that is working on very high conversion rates and well-manufactured durability. Of course, there is a price for that... They are demoing their final beta device at the Military Power conference in San Diego this month. I've seen the device, and it is the best by far for efficiency of power generation; blows those hand crank radios out of the water. See:
