Abstract
A manually rechargeable power system includes a generator operable to generate electrical energy. A capacitor is operable to store the electrical energy generated by the generator. The generator and/or capacitor may be housed in a housing configured to replicate a size and a shape of one or multiple batteries.
Claims22
A manually rechargeable system comprising:
- a generator adapted to generate electrical energy;
- a rotatable member rotatably connected to said generator;
- a cord having an end affixed to the rotatable member;
- a capacitor adapted to store the electrical energy generated by said generator;
- and
- a housing substantially enclosing at least one of the generator, the rotatable member, and the capacitor, said housing having an aperture such that the cord may pass through the aperture, said housing being configured to replicate a shape and a size of one of a battery and a bundle of batteries.
