Kcarlile,

I've always liked those crank flashlights since I was a kid. Some years ago I reviewed an emergency wind-up radio that would play for about 20 minutes after you turned the crank 50 times. I don't recall the brand. I've still got it. I think a later model added a solar panel on top.

Hey, a remote with a small solar recharger panel--I'll go to the drawing board.
