*Potenco’s Pull-Cord Generator* (PCG) keeps portable electronic devices working all the time while providing freedom and independence from traditional power sources.

The first application of the PCG will power the XO Laptop available from the One Laptop per Child Project (OLPC) <http://laptop.org>.
XOs not available in US except those that are developing. No longer come with pull cord charging since there was a problem in some humidities and the cultural design became charge at school gang charging stations. My crank flashlight, w cord to charge cell phone also, can charge xo (and has weather radio for $10.) The pull cord add on higher. Microsoft support for commercial, teacher controlled, schooling has caused considerable pressure on xo.
