Hack?
yeeah...Some of the more critical parts used for the sewing machine mobile phone charger include the cap from a bottle of WD40 and my elastic hair band, both used to turn the motor.
We finally made the voltage regulation circuit by buying a Rs50 car charger off the street and ripping it apart. Hawkers accost us every day, when we are stuck in traffic, trying to sell us these Nokia car chargers.... who knew they would ever be useful!
So it seems like one of these things could be hackable out of parts available even in relatively small villages...

As I said, this is a brilliant idea. If you guys can actually design it and commercialize it and sell it to Nokia, you can make a lot of money.

Maybe, but that would almost certainly take all of the fun out of it.
Good work.

P.S. I got here from an internal QCOM link. They ran a story about you today.
This is indeed an awesome idea. And i think it will be really useful in rural areas of my country (Bangladesh)too, where you will rarely have electricity
This is amazing and video is very cute. Brynt, Derek and Shiban - this is a rocking concept. And hats off to your passion and persuation to turn this to a live demo so soon. Congratulations folks!!!
Take this to the villages in Bihar and Bengal, and this will become a commercial rage.
