Crank This Battery To Charge Up

The Wind Up Battery is a rechargeable battery with a little pop-out hand-crank to power up using some good ol' fashioned elbow grease. I'd probably looks like an idiot using it, but better than suffering without a AA.

Designed by Qian Jiang, the concept is actually rather brilliant since it wouldn't require an additional gadget to recharge your batteries and depending on how many recharges it would allow for, it might be a rather good deal too. Since this battery is still a concept, he claims that it could be fully charged in 20 minutes, but that would be fast enough for most of us. Those of us who haven't got the arm muscles of a noodle that is.

What a cool concept... you get an arm workout while you recharge the battery!

Seems like a useful thing. If you cant get AA and you need battery badly, then this is a great solution.

I'll stick to regular chargers :D

Peanutzzz said...

this actually looks good, although its kinda unusall that the red light indicates a full batter while the green one indicates an empty one lol its usually the other way around xD

Where was this when I still used AA batteries? Still could be useful someday if I go camping or something and need AA batteries.
