That's silly. LED lights go for a year on a set of batteries, and slowly
dim when they need to be changed.

Wind-up LED flashlight may not have any batteries .

There is a little handle on my wind up LED flashlights, flip it out and
wind the crap out of it, no batteries.

Willys L Head/side valve Go-Devil engines are Tuff.They Had to be Tuff
in World War Two.

Ford built almost half of the World War Two Jeeps.There was an
underground Jeep assembly plant in England in World War Two.

If/when I get to working on my Jeep, I will take the head and block to
Smith's Automotive Machine shop on Rankin Street in Jackson and let them
check it out, and do the valves, grind the cylinder holes, whatever.The
crankshaft and valves shaft might need some workin on them, might need
over size bearings.The rest of it, I can do that myself.The starter
motor and generator probally needs rebuilding, I will take them to an
Automotive Electric shop (I forget the name of that shop just now, it's
listed in doggy's phone book) on Highway 80, about a mile West of
doggy's couch.I will need a new wiring harness, a bunch of thingys.It
will be sort of like a hobby for me, fixin up my old Jeep.A Martha
Stewart Good Thing.
I don'ts wants no Pinto engyne enema mah Jeep!

So Dave you Turn-On a LED Flashlight and the
Batteries will Last a Year . . . -r-o-t-f-l-

Ten's of Hours most likely
Hundreds of Hours well may be . . .
-but- A Whole Year 24x365 = 8760 Hours
-why-that's-un-believable-

What's the point? A spring powered generator is way more failure prone
than batteries. I have battery powered LED lamps that run hours a day
and still have the original D batteries.

I basically have access to all the batteries I want. I still use
rechargeables for high current non-mission critical devices.

Bayless clockworks generator was the best, and it was prone to breaking.

"Windup flashlights" sheesh!

Richard 'HOAX' Hoagland said the Y2K was going to end everything.I
actually taped that sheet with my little micro tape recorder set on low
speed, when he said that sheet on that Phoney Baloney coast to coast
Bull Sheet HOAX radio show.

That's about when I QUIT! listening to that Phoney Fake Fraud coast to
coast SUCKS!!! Bull Sheet show too.Oh well, I am prepared for the next
Y2K in 2024, or whenever.I have buku rechargable batteries I never even
charged up and used yet.
