----The envisioned hand-crank power module would be
used JUST LIKE a battery...STORING
electric power for
the digital camera to use at a moment's notice---
what would be different is with the
hand-crank module clipped onto your
digital camera,NO BATTERIES
WOULD BE NEEDED....cranking the power module
would supply enough "juice"--stored-- for 20
or 30 shots at a time.---Hasn't anyone seen the
ads on the 'Net for the Freeplay radios?????
Follow Ups:
What does it mean, 'No Batteries'. Something inside still stores that cranked-up energy, anyway?As for cellphones. Why use hand-crank at all? Batteries can be charged by flywheel, as long as you walk, like in automatic watches. It should be sufficient for standby, but not for long talks. Anyway, a nice advertizing twist: 'Finally, A CellPhone for a Man of Few Words'...
