Looks like charging GPS units (or whatever) off of a dynohub might be a reality soon... introducing Busch & Muller's eWork (http://www.bumm.de/index-e.html?docu/361e.htm), they say available next month... hopefully it's real.
For all those who do not want to go cycling without their mobile phones, GPS, MP3 players and other electronic devices and do not have access to a stationary charging station comes the "bike mobile" E-WERK. If the compact device is connected to the hub dynamo, the electricity generated by the cyclist's muscle power does not have to be used by only the lighting fixtures but can alternatively be processed by E-WERK
Translation seems a bit rough but it sounds interesting nonetheless. Does anything else like this already exist?
Though I just realized this might not work with my Shimano dyno since it has different connectors.. still a step in the right direction.
