I have a question for you and any other people who were provided with the engineer-bent heads!

I have a flash light that is hand cranked. I have an emergency radio (with flash light) that is hand cranked. I have a wall plug-in battery charger. I have a solar battery charger.

The Question:

Can someone help me figure out to put together a hand cranked small battery charger? Can you or one of you gizmo creative types help me with some simple basic plans and/or instructions to build a device like this?

I’ve not seen any that are ready-made. My Darlin suggested that it might be possible to take components from some of these afore-mentioned devices, and then perhaps add some other components from Radio Shack and obtain the desired hand cranked small battery charger. But I don’t have a clue as to how to do that. Darlin (for good reason) doesn’t have time to mess with it right now.

Alas, the tech at our Radio Shack who is usually so helpful looked at me today as if I was asking for something that was totally impossible to imagine.

Thanks in advance!
