Kinetic energy to power your gadgets?

Hand Crank radioInstead of worrying about charging up your cell phone with electricity, or even solar power, what if you could do it just by your normal, daily walking around? That's what makers of some kinetic chargers are making possible. 

If you aren't into charging while walking, how about a hand crank device? The Eco Media Player is similar to an MP3 player but uses one minute of hand cranking to power it for 45 minutes. It plays movies, music and stores photos. 

The market for kinetic powered devices is growing and so are the product offerings. Keep your eyes open for more things that arepowered by you.
