2) Channel-surf to you heart's delight with the crank-powered remote.
3) Power up your iPod with these nifty DIY projects: the hand crank and big brother bicycle charger.
4) Don't get left in the dark with this hardcore, LED light or this one, that calls itself the Illuminator. 'Nuff said.
5) If the power company pulls the plug, stay up-to-date with the Eton hand-cranked radio.
