Wow I guess I am not the only one that has thought of this. What may be better than shaking the
device is a crank motor. Most electrical motors when provided energy turn in one direction. If you reverse this and turn it yourself electricity is produced. What I imagined after thinking that shaking a personal vaporiser could cause damage was a flip down crank lever such that when folded does not take up extra room. Cranking the lever provides energy to the atomizer as needed. Those shake up flashlights actually do have a battery. The reverse crank does not and is why it has some additional benefits. The downfall is that you have to crank while you
vape ... I suppose the crank method could be used to create an ultra small personal vaporizer... or could be used in combination with a battery for charging on the fly. Small electric motors are widely available and cheap. Adding a crank is not rocket science. The wiring and voltage regulation... I am completely ignorant of. Can anyone provide a simple to understand explanation of what I am talking about and provide insight on concerns regarding voltage out put and how much "cranking" you would have to do do to provide enough energy to
vape on demand?
Thanks

"Hold unit in one hand and turn the crank lever with the other. You can generate 5 to 6 Volts / 200 to 250 mAh to recharge your Hymini and your GPS, Mobile Cell Phone, iPod or other devices via the USB charging port."
Another example of how you could DIY with an old printers stepper motor.

Now further expand the idea to make the cranking motion easier buy incorporating the physics of a device with a pull cord that performs an action when retracted. Pull cord to specific length (no power) watch it self retract (while turning motor) while you vape. No more batteries. Ever.
