Rechargeable battery with built-in dynamo.

We have previously posted on different gadgets that can be re-charged with their own built-in generators. The most well known are perhaps the devices (among others a radio and a music player) invented by Trevor Baylis. There are also cell phone chargers and torches/flashlights based on the same idea. The advantages are obvious. The new concept (above) from Yanko Design may be taking it a bit too far, though. Maybe it would have been smarter to design a crank powered battery charger where one could charge several batteries at once, rather than fitting a charger/dynamo to each battery. Looks like these batteries could be much too expensive for success. But, on the other hand, it’s both smart and elegant, like so often when it’s Yanko.
