Hand-Cranked Flashlight Powers Itself
 |
It takes just 30 seconds of cranking to charge a small steel-coiled generator inside, which is enough to provide light for at least three minutes, according to the C. Crane Co., distributor.
The lantern is powered by two NiCad batteries and features a 0.8-watt Xenon bulb. Batteries can be charged manually or with an included AC adapter.
The lantern is 10 in. long. It sells for $74.95, including S&H.
The company also sells a hand-cranked AM/FM radio that runs approximately 30 to 60 minutes on 1 minute of cranking. It sells for $84.95, including S&H.
