Cell Phone Charging Radio

radio charge 736967 Cell Phone Charging RadioUntil fuel cell technology becomes ubiquitous and cheap, you might wanna opt for good old fashion hand cranked power. The Cell Phone Charging Hand-Crank Radio also receives AM/FM, 7 weather channels, VHF TV audio, and has ALERT function to receive National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration weather warnings. It also includes a 2 LED flash light beam and a red blinking light. Turning the crank charges its internal NiMH battery. No info on cell phone compatibility, but assume the major ones.

Available at Hammacher Schlemmer for $50.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
