"Currently building a rechargable
battery back, using a small permanent magnet DC motor and some odd
components to make the last two radios also operable off of a
hand-crank.
This device will be seperate from the radio however, and will only plug
in
to provice the 6 VDC they require. I did have this device working, but
with
plastic gears, and these died after a short trial run. Worked
perfectly for
a few seconds though... "

Got links to pictures?

Has anyone else built a hand powered generator that is portable for
bugout use?

Thanks

Sorry, no pictures. (No digital camera.) When I get it working and
perfected I'll upload schematics etc. if anyone wants them. Right now it's
just an odd bunch of parts, looking for metal gears.
