The remote control goes Eco

Loses the batteries for a bit of wind-up


8 August 2008 9:58 GMT / By Stuart Miles

If you are always finding that your remote control for the television is running out of juice, or maybe you just want to be eco-friendly, then this might be the gadget for you.

The Wind-Up Remote Control uses hand power instead of battery power. Just winding the dial at the bottom of the remote 30 full turns is enough to provide a full charge, which should last you about a week according to the makers.

According to Gizoo, the online shop selling the gadget, "it's quick, easy and works with a huge variety of devices on hundreds of brands, including Samsung, Sony, Phillips and Panasonic" and can control up to six devices at once.

Yours for £19.99.
