Keep your mobile running with YoYo power

This neat little device is a step up from the small portable crank lever wind up models, instead it uses a mechanism similar to a yoyo toy. It’s very compact and can easily slip into your top pocket so is ideal for emergencies, for example if you’re stuck out in the countryside with car trouble and no power left in your mobile. It uses a USB cable with a number of different extension heads to charge your cell phone, games console, MP3 player, camera and many other small voltage devices.

Unfortunately, like the crank windup charger it produces a tiny trickle of electricity so it isn’t really a realistic replacement for home power mains charging. The gadget costs $39.99 and can be found at the Yogen homepage.
