That's not what I meant.  Its like a wind-up toy, you crank it, and it
stores the energy in the spring.  When the energy is released, it goes from
mechanical to electrical.  With the right gear ratios, you can get a solid
6 volts out of this for hours.  No more need for batteries...rechargeable
or not.
