Kinetic Energy Harvesting Devices

The manual resourcefulness in The Last of Us inspires kinetic energy devices like foot-pedal or hand-crank generators. These low-tech solutions, such as the Pedal Power Bike Generator, convert human effort into electricity for charging phones, radios, or LED lights. They’re portable, require no fuel, and are ideal for emergency kits. Some models support multiple users for faster charging. While limited to small devices, they ensure critical communication during prolonged outages. Store in a dry, accessible place and practice using them before a storm to ensure familiarity. Their simplicity makes them a reliable backup for any household.
