Get that Dynomo made Noel, then you can use a steam engien to run it and charge your phone.
My brother up in Scotland was <b>without power for 4 days due to the recent wind, ran one of the cars to charge his mobile.</b>
Was that a fossil burner or EV? I can just plug in and likely/hopefully run for a week from my car. Mobile phones only need a few Watt hours, so not worth running anything much to keep them charged.
Certainly as ‘a means to an end’, a model steam powered generator would suffice – but with what efficiency?
