Yet another human powered torch (flashlight), that doubles as a mobile phone charger. Crank the winder for 1 minute to obtain 30 mins of light, from up to 5 LEDs. One is a red LED, so you can have illumination without upsetting your night vision. If away from the power grid you may delegate the Electrilite other duties, changing your cell phone. Get winder happy for 3 minutes, and be rewarded with up to 8 mins of talk time. Comes with adapters for 7 brands of phone. The pocket sized device is $25 USD online. ::Electrilite
