Wind-up phone charger powers your gadgets without electricity

Doesn't it just suck when your phone dies? There's never a good time for this -- especially seeing as we've entered an age where mobile communication is so commonplace that most people feel out-of-touch, isolated, and downright naked if they ever leave home without their cell phone.

But never fear -- there's now a solution for the forgetful among you, on those days when you're out and about, and nowhere near a wall outlet. Introducing the Wind Up phone charger.

This incredibly clever gadget does just what you'd think -- charges your phone with nothing more than elbow grease. Just spend a minute or two rotating the crank (which, as you can see in the photo, works more or less like a fishing reel), and presto! -- your phone has juice.

Now you can rotate between your solar charger, your wind-powered charger, and your Wind Up charger (for real emergencies), and power your phone from now until eternity without ever plugging it in.
