The PUYL is a combined bicycle pump and a hand-powered torch in one, perfect for cyclists everywhere. Designed by industrial designerKai Malte Roever, the pump uses the motion of a magnet through copper coils to generate electricity. This electricity is used to charge a battery which then powers the LED-based light bulb at the end of the pump.

Tyres can be inflated by the pump by using the side-mounted filling hole, since the end of the pump is replaced by the LED light. However, you don’t need a flat tyre in order to charge the light!

The designer has submitted a patent application for the design. A good thing too, as it’s a great blend of technology.

Hand-crank eco gadgets are definitely becoming more popular, and now there’s a Solar Powered and Hand-crank LED Lantern that combines a solar panel and a hand-powered charger into a free-standing camping lamp. The lamp can also be used to charge mobile phones using the phone charging cable.

The solar panel can be used to charge the lamp in just 6 hours. However, no information about how quickly the handcrank will charge the internal battery. From the other hand-powered green gadgets we’ve reviewed, it’s around about 20 minutes light for 1 minutes hand power.

I can imagine that this light is perfect for camping since it’s free standing. You could have 3 or 4 of these lamps around the camping area, giving you lots of useful light without spending loads on batteries. The solar powered and hand-crank lamp is available for $34.99 from GizFever.
