FreeCharge Weza: Something I Wish I Had During "Milenyo"

Here's something for those unexpected power blackouts -- the FreeCharge Weza.

Using mere leg power, one can use this impressive piece of technology to jumpstart a stalled vehicle or charge portable devices (cellphones, laptops, etc.) using a standard car charger. What's impressive about the FreeCharge Weza is that apart from "leg power", it can also be charged using a solar panel (recommended 30W minimum rating) or a wind turbine (30W minimum rating also recommended).

This would have been really handy during the "dark days" following typhoon Milenyo.
