    The range of modern clockwork and wind up gadgets is expanding to include MP3 players, Bike Lights, LED Torches and Cell Phone chargers. These are now being made by a number of companies globally to cope with the rapidly increasing demand.  Clockwork & Wind Up gadgets and devices are becoming more and more popular for many reasons -   Clockwork devices have been around now for centuries, yet it is only in the last decade that they have been given a new lease of life. Mainly thanks to British inventor Trevor Baylis who brought us a clockwork radio which proved very popular and has now been copied by countless companies and these can now be found all around the world. Now many clockwork devices work by the crank powering a small dynamo which charges a rechargeable battery. Often cheaper ones work by the dynamo providing power directly to the device whilst the true clockwork mechanism unwinds.  - 4 weeks ago
