Hi all. I've got a free energy powered radio. It has a solar cell on one
side and a hand cranked dynamo. There is an internal rechargable battery
that can be charged by leaving the unit sit in the sunshine while you
listen to it, or you can crank the generator a little and get enough
charge to run it for several minutes. Does this clockwork radio have a
wound spring powered generator?

Unlike many, I consider solar power to be free energy in the fullest
sense of the term. I powered my entire house with it for a year. This is
a classic example of what will happen when "free energy" is
"discovered". I don't see the world clamoring after solar power. Any
form of delivery of so-called free energy will likely require equipment
that is manufactured with the necessity for extreme precision and
sophisticated tooling. You are going to have to pay for this equipment
to be manufactured. You're not likely going to be able to make one in
your basement. But at least the "fuel" will be free!
