DIY Flashlight Power Generator
Filed under
Alternative Energy
Knowing how to improvise is an important survival skill, check out this DIY Video on how to tun a hand crank flashlight into a mini power generator to power you cell phone or small radios.
Now I know that they sell gizmo’s that do this already, but the point of the video is to show you what you can do with a little bit of work. Knowing how to do little jobs like this can help you make do with what you already have.

I found a very cool lantern at a garage sale it is rechargable by ac or hand crank, has two light settings, is an am/fm/weather radio with an auto weather alert setting and has a dc outlet that accepts all those auto chargers. I love this thing, I bring it on boat trips, bike runs, and keep it plugged in at home for the weather alerts. Best I can tell, It’s made by Power on board.
