Personal Energy Device. - The Red Ferret Journal: “The Multifunction Personal Energy Device. OK, so it’s a wind-up mobile phone charger. But…no listen, come back…but…it can also charge up your digital camera, contains an FM radio and features a super golly gosh LED flashlight. Impressed? Thought so. £14.99.

This personal Energy Device can charge your mobile phone with just a few turns of the winding handle - turn it for 5 minutes and you’ve got 2.5 hours of talk time. It will also top up the batteries on your digital camera. And that’s not all! The device has a built-in automatic scan radio (FM-88-108 Mghz) and a handy torch, so you’ve got a lot more reasons to keep it handy!”
