If you had 4 or 6 kids, they would love it. They could keep your cell phones charged, while getting all their energy out. I recommend it for a elementary school teachers!
I use a lawn mower batter to store power and I have this unit cranking to put juice in the battery ( 12v ) I also have a 100 watt power inverter and I have a mini hand crank generator. You’re welcome
If you can find one that use foot pedal instead of hand crank, that's a whole lot better. Cranking these things by hand, you gonna be cussing by 5 minutes.
I'm still wondering why there are few , actually almost none, indoor bikes or gym spinners that have this king of generator integrated. I guess for a 30 min workout you could get a good enough charge. Or maybe even have 2 or 3 such generatore serialized 🥰. Nice video 👍🏻.
They DO make them but they are not cheap, Here is one you put on the floor in front of you and peddle and it will charge a battery amzn.to/3uXcFqu This is a 20 watt unit but they have bigger ones
I just got this today and I tested on charging my phone, it's quite easy to crank while charging phone but if I plug in any other USB device it's getting hard to crank like it will have heavy resistance then suddenly no resistance... And it keep repeating. And I also try connect it up to a power inverter and run a 5w LED bulb and it sort of works. Overall I think it's a good product I think I will buy another 1 :)
The bigger the load, the heavier the resistance you will feel while turning it. I noticed it as well once I tried to charge a larger power bank with it.. its normal
Very interesting although the hand crank configuration could be improved with the bicycle movement or at least provide holes so you can tie it up on a tree or something and even extend the length of the crank arm.
1. Bicycle movement, This sounds like a good idea but the device would have to be larger. 2. Needs rotary motion so idk how holes to tie to a tree would work 3. Longer handle could work if you change the gear ratio to make it harder to crank. Adding a longer handle would add more torque but less speed
I have some radio/ light combos that have solar and crank generator capabilities. The power is stored in a Metal hydride power cell, can charge cell phones that have USB, C capabilities The lights are powerful LEDs, the radio part has AM,FM, Weather Band capabilities. These came in handy during a severe winter storm event in which I lost power for quite a while. I ❤ these things. I ❤ your device as well. If you can put the power from your unit into these power cells, you would have some light,etc. for quite a while. ❤
Of all the hand cranks that I have come across this seems to be the largest, most powerful and most durable. Have you or anyone here seen another hand crank comparable to this one?
This is the only one I have, I have seen bigger units, ones with pedals where you can charge via the pedals instead of a hand crank but those cost a whole lot more.. like around 200 bucks.
@@Iridium242 Yeah same here. I've seen a few foot pedal ones as well. Usually it's the K-TOR Power Box that shows up and yeah they are $200 and more. What surprises me about the Survival Crank Generator you reviewed is that it can produce the same 20Watts as the K-TOR Power Box but at a significantly lower price tag. Shoot with a little DIY custom building one could mount the Survival Crank Generator to a sturdy pedal rig and voila you'll have a much more versatile setup with the same power output and likely still be less expensive to the K-TOR.
I haven’t seen these before I will consider getting one I have a portable 110-220 generator but electricity could be out for days it would be useful for my electric wheelchair cause it can deplete of power. I don’t think you need to charge the car battery because it needs to be jump started with the spark plug then running the engine with gas charges it back up again. I’d definitely worry lots less with one for emergencies
⚠️Reminder about generator safety: This is a very important announcement for everyone just to make sure: 1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. Hope this helps. Thank you. It’s important to follow all the generator safety rules whenever you use your portable generator.
The ones that go in the water to charge phones can be lost when the current changes and it will drag you're charging device into thew after. The cables on them are also very long to reach out of the water and you loose power the longer the cable. It would be ideal to redirect the water using a PVC pipe, placing the hydro generator at the end
2/3/19 Walmart is now carrying it for $39.99 with free shipping. I have a question before placing my order. Do you see by looking at it how one would connect this to the back wheel hub of a bike?
The back of the unit where the hand crank is, has a metal pole sticking out, you could easily put a gear on it and run that gear to a chain on a bike. The unit itself is small enough to mount almost anywhere with the chain connected to it.
I'm planning on buying an inflatable raft and getting a troling electric motor for it to ride around the lake with and was considering buying one of these to have in the raft incase the electric battery dies/to charge it with but it sounds like it wouldn't be enough to do that and I'd be cranking for hours just to get juice out of it for such a purpose correct? They basically use something like a car battery.
Thanks for another great video.I would like to buy one.It's good to see that the black is NEG and the red is POS. Sometimes China does get it mucked up.I would like to see a closer look at the front, I think I did see two sets of outlet clamping type plugs? I will try and buy one..Thanks again..
This might be a stupid question but can I use a 300W inverter (where I can plug devices rated at 150W and less) and attach it to this crank generator? Will it power electric devices through the inverter? Thanks
Probably need to crank it a very very long time, I am thinking about ways to automate it, perhaps turn it into a windmill as to charge that bank by hand would take hours.
Sorry if i disturb you, i know you make this video in long time ago. But i want to ask you, is there another type of this that has internal storage in it, so you can store the electricity in it ? Or it doesn't exist yet?
No problem! No this one does not store energy unless you plug a battery into it and charge it up, I dont know of one that does have its own internal storage, but with a decent battery bank this would pretty much work like what you are describing, Hope that helps!
sir thank you for this video. I dont know if someone could attach a motor instead of using hand cranks. If yes please what will you recommend for the motor power. I sincerely appreciate all your good work.

hi~ the video is good! and I am a chinese, if you got any info you want to translate (a little) which is important, pls let me know. And I have order-ed one after reading your video. thanks
That is what I was thinking. If you could replace the crank handle with a fly wheel, then you could cross connect a wind mill or water wheel, to power the generator.
It would work but it would take a LONG time till the battery was fully charged. You probably want something much bigger and better for that kind of application.
The rated output for these @12v is 1.2 or 1.15 amps if I remember correctly. Most 12v battery chargers charge at 4-6 amps and still can take a few hours from "dead". The hand crank unit is on the order of a battery tender / trickle charger. Theoretically you could, but can you crank for 12hrs at a time?

That’s nice learning about generators/electricity
This looks neat but i like my solar power system, i just set it and forget it. I still might get one of these to play with.

Great video brother that would be a great option to put on a bicycle rubber wheel to rubber wheel
Nice, you could rig it up to a bike t. The one thing that would work best a hamster and wheel. It works running my truck.
you can put it on a waterweel is it hard to turn?
Not bad for what it does

I think this device will be prefect feeding into an mppt solar controller to charge batteries.
I got mine on amazon.
Thanks for the video! Can you fully charge a phone battery with this after a while of cranking?
might be cool to see if it would work as a wind turbine or a water wheel.
add a bike wheel

How about a sprocket instead of crank?

I think you'd be better off packing a collapsible paddle.
Usb fast charge work on 9v for samsung so u can use that information
I assume you can attach a cordless drill to crank it vs. the handle????
Nc review
thanks!
Hi, have U translated the manual and the lanel of this generator? If so, can U share it?
Thanks for another great video.I would like to buy one.It's good to see that the black is NEG and the red is POS. Sometimes China does get it mucked up.I would like to see a closer look at the front, I think I did see two sets of outlet clamping type plugs? I will try and buy one..Thanks again..
Yeah, 2 sets of clamp type plugs plus 2 USB ports. Thanks!
This might be a stupid question but can I use a 300W inverter (where I can plug devices rated at 150W and less) and attach it to this crank generator? Will it power electric devices through the inverter? Thanks
no. the inverter needs a specific amount of volts just to run. this wouldnt be able to power an inverter
150w is a lot
Thanks man.
My question is.
How hard is when you spinning the handle.
Is it smooth or hard?.
Easy and smooth, but once you put a decent load on it, it can get a bit harder to turn but not insanely hard, just noticeable
@@Iridium242 Great
I'm thinking to buy one of them and my idea is to run it automatic via magnet
What do you think.
❤ good morning sr. How much that little emergency generator 😊
how many times you must work for charge the phone/powerbank?
Probably need to crank it a very very long time, I am thinking about ways to automate it, perhaps turn it into a windmill as to charge that bank by hand would take hours.
DUH! Put a cordless drill on the shaft where the handle connects!! Bam! Powered generator! Bwahahaha! :)
haha yeah it would work. Not a bad idea!
David House Sr. Ahhh, as soon as I saw that I thought of the same thing.
But you’d have to charge the cordless drill.
Probably a better use of energy to just tap straight from the cordless drill battery Unless you need 5 V then go for it

Should be fine to charge a car battery, it just take too long
With that big size they should put lithium-ion batteries inside it.
Amps?
3V, 5V, 6V won't hurt 99% of USB devices BUT 15V 2A will make them squeal

Can we modify into a wind turbine or something to charge batteries?
That is what I was thinking. If you could replace the crank handle with a fly wheel, then you could cross connect a wind mill or water wheel, to power the generator.
Bro can we connect to inverter
sir can you use that if your car or motorcycle batry goes out?
