I'm wondering if there's such a product as a hand crank AA charger. I have a number of AA products such as radio, flashlight, water disinfectant that I would love to feel I could power in the case of an emergency. I have a solar charger but one can't really depend on that.

Hand crank I feel I can depend on. Anyone know of such a thing? It would be a nice bonus of it also could charge items that plug in through USB.

Thanks...but that doesn't do what I primarily want which is to charge AA batteries.

Any other suggestions?
