Definitely a cool concept but $159.99 seems a little steep for what might be a little more novelty than necessity. |

I keep seeing that also. I'm in the old school that says, "It's so simple, what's not to like about it?" |

I don't see the point Solar chargers are much cheaper and you don't need a stream or wind |

Solar can't charge 24/7. |

The same ad has been popping up for me too. Look at the specs that is going to take a good stream to make it work. Look at the peak power specs. |

Each method has advantages and disadvantages. Solar is not that great in W. Washington in the winter. 8 hours of cloudy sunlight, under lots of trees in our temperate rainforest. There isn't a lot of sun. But we do have a lot of streams here. Solar would be a lot better in E. WA and wind would work in many areas, especially at night. More for charging batteries than anything needing a constant flow of power. |

I love this idea. I've seen something similar with a car alternator on one of the back woods shows. |

Hook an alternator to a bicycle and peddle you fat ass off!! You can pedal all night in the snow if you like! |

If you find a stream where that gidget works, your likely 50 miles from cell service anyways!! |
