@@Democratic_Industrialism I absolutely agree. "Spring power" is the great forgotten power source. In fact I think there is still a radio made or sold in Africa called BAY-GEN, Wind it up and you get 30 minutes of radio play by spring power. On ebay you can buy working spring driven mens shavers...I have one and works great. Called the Gyro 100 Some company could surely come up with a generator that has lets say 4 hardened steel springs encased in metal barrels linked in a row (like the old wind up Victrola motors) in a series. The only exception is trying to get it to run a heater. Heaters use a ton of current. I have done experiments
@@Democratic_Industrialism Would be very cool. I think soldiers in ww2 had large walkie talkie type radios. I specifically remember seeing a Japanese soldier in an old film "pedaling" by foot a generator to power the radio. I believe something like what you are talking about could definitely be made but it's just forgotten old technology. It would have to be quite easy for even a young electronics geek to figure a way you can connect a crank spring generator up to a car battery(s) and then an "inverter" connected to it so you could plug in low power items like a 7 inch TV, etc. I know on ebay you can find the various parts for doing such a thing......the issue is the "know how"
this appears to recquire so much mechanical work and weight that it has 3 anchor points to endure failures. It would make sense if we didnt have any other uses for metals.
I finally found what I've been thinking for years! A wind up fan! I'm sure with gears like a clock, this could go for hours. Where can one get one of these???
they have fans that run off heat now. uses peltier/TEC technology, also you can make a generator out of peltiers too, th-cam.com/video/hDLWO_Iaflc/w-d-xo.html
It would make a lot of sense to still make these. Especially good for off grid, prepers etc.
or maybe a small off grid generator that you could wind up to produce power for a heater and lamp at night when it gets cold

I would so pay for a windup generator if it could last at least 1 hour or more per charge

I need one of these. Will contribute to my off grid systems.

Hi.
I have another one exact to this, price is 3500$
Thanks.
@@milagrosaramayo3436 fuck. That.
@@milagrosaramayo3436 I must be a beautiful antique.
@@milagrosaramayo3436 nice but that’s about $2,000 above it’s value.
@@obsidian9998 you are?
They still need to make these I need one for my cabin

cdoublejj ya but its not the same
clockwork powered fans are better than heat powered fans
Carbon dioxide isn't global warming... carbon monoxide is
I don't care about global warming... it will never happen in 2k of years
It would be so nice if this could be manufactured once more, a survivalist necessity!!!!
The Fan was so strong that it even moved the trees on the Background. >.
With all these people going off grid nowadays you think there would be a Market for modern wind-up things like fans
thats the coolest thing ever
It's beautiful
Fantástico!!!
Hey .can u tell me the mechanism of this fan .I want to make it
This is worthy of a collections... But I don't think we can find it anymore...
nice
Back then no electricity, Zo when a empty comes these things still work ;)
How long will that run?
+Paul sherman 40 minutes
@@geniol5 you are actually correct .. that is surprising.. to say the least..
You can also find some on eBay
Somebody owns this patent....
Wow
This is a German mechanical spring wound fan.
pls open and show how to make this
They should use this more in Europe.. there is a heatwave there and less electrical power..
time working?
Good day gent,Is it for sale
Where can I get one?Was there ever a handheld size?What brand is it?
I have for sale
@@interesting.vintage.stuff1 How much? Where or how do I buy it, and how big is it?
How does it work 🤔
Spring gear like kids toy
How long does it go for?
Full wind up = 30 minutes run time.
Can we find this somewhere
I have for sale
