Someone needs to invent a search engine so folks who are unaware of stuff that has existed for over a hundred years can learn about it.

"Someone needs to invent a hand held, like a coffee grinder, method of generating power to recharge batteries."

Many portable AM/FM/SW radios have that feature. On the net for under $50.

This reminds me of something a Freeper posted a while back:

Someone in his circle was complaining about always losing their cell phone. Freeper said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if someone invented a phone that wired into the wall, so you’d never lose it?”

(I really miss landlines. They deactivated them where we live, when they installed cable. But there are all sorts of crank- and solar-gizmos now.)

Talk to Dorothy Gibson, I think she may have some ideas along those lines.
