I've thought about wind up chargers and after messing with a old torch I have and a doctored charging cable it turned out to be as useful as a astray on a motorcycle...Plus I've spent £25 on components from EBay already

I learnt the hard way over 55 years ago living in a tent in winter, no hot water or 'leccy and a big rough sergeant major shouting in my lug 'ole at five am calling me horrid names because I was still not up and shaved.
Reminds me of that status quo song about being in the army
