there has been some research into this... Thad specifically has been. Sieko has a watch that uses your kenetic energy to charge the battery for it's self, being a micro-power device it can do this... but creating 2-5 watts of power (perferabaly 10 watts) would be alot harder and larger, I've been looking at magnetic coupled charging for my wearable and trying to figure out how to keep the charger from scrambling the hard drives and other magnetic media.. (I know Use of a solid state hard drive would eliminate this problem) I just wish tesla was able to get his wireless power system working those many years ago.... Backward thinking of corperate america has more than once doomed a good idea to a historical footnote. > > I am not an engineer, but i wonder if using more of the body than just the > hands might not ameliorate the tedium of hand crankinging?
