    1. @snowcone I was thinking more along the lines of something like this http://ur1.ca/g3tqy ... Only now I want to charge AAA and/or AA batteries

    2. @critialcloudkicker Buy a fuel-powered generator or make a muscle-powered generator or get a solar panel or make a wind-powered generator.

      2. @broniebrown Actually... I am sorta looking for something a little bit more... like this I guess... http://ur1.ca/g3ts9 ... Either that or I could just mount a bike-dynamo to my trainer bike in some way shape or form and somehow figure out how to "squeeze" the output down to the desired voltage.

        1. @critialcloudkicker you can use a LM317 to regulate the voltage to whatever output you want

              1. @calvinthedestroyer I feel more at home shaping wood and metal to the image of my head without using power tools... Oh and I can program in both computer language and human-language pretty well :)
