Would a clockwork device be able to produce enough power to vape with ?.

Pardon the aside, but the Professor from Gilligan's Island popped into my head during this discussion. :hubba:

That is interesting. I wish he would have mentioned how much force was needed to turn it though. 5 watts might be good enough for a MTL clearo with a 2.2 - 2.4 ohm coil.

I like this a lot. Reverse EMF from hand cranking a small geared DC motor is my choice for winner of this idea consortium. It wouldn't take much to turn it into an 18650 charging device if you had the time to crank it for a couple of hours and a meter to monitor progress. A single diode in a half wave rectifier and a capacitor and load resistor to filter the peaks and it would charge a battery.
