TOPIC: Crank-Up Electronics

During times when batteries may be in scarce supply, crank-up products may be just the thing. This is a technology in use in the recent past, when phone calls were placed only after an energetic cranking. Crank Radios such as BayGen are On the Market.

Generators can be powered by hand or foot, or could use Gravity.
