I tried this in a Sharper Image store:

Energy from hand-cranking is stored in a carbon steel spring: A full spring wind (60 turns) provides a LED shine time of approximately 10 minutes. The three high-efficiency white LEDs still come up a bit short of useful light output, imo. On the box they claim to have a patent on the "Spring Engine" power source; apparently this refers to US #5,917,310 - Spring operated current generator for supplying controlled electric current to a load.
