This is what we need more of... energy that is always obtainable and free. A teenager from Belarus has invented a phone charge that generates energy from the human body. All you have to do to charge it, is rotate your hand. Now what people need are exercise machines that will generate energy from the human body to light up one's home... You never know when something might happen to the grids and then what are we going to do? No lights, no heat, no computer, no nothin! HandEnergy, the brainchild of 19-year-old inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by rotating your hand, which activates the devices gyroscope to produce energy that can then either be stored or used to immediately charge a mobile. http://www.infowars.com/teenager-invents-phone-charger-which-generates-energy-from-the-human-body/
This one thinks infowars is a source of accurate, reliable and truthful information. She's a funny girl that way.
You're suggesting that we convert the energy stored in food into mechanical work and from there into electrical energy. This can be done and has been done. However, it's unnecessarily complicated, inefficient and very expensive. Food is a precious resource that we shouldn't waste to generate electricity, which can be obtained much more directly with a smaller effect on the environment. An untrained cyclist can maintain about 50 watts of power for an hour, while a world class cyclist can manage to get roughly ten times that value. With today's energy hungry lifestyle, that's not a lot of energy at all. This clip illustrates the issue: [video=youtube;C93cL_zDVIM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C93cL_zDVIM[/video] This is a rather impractical device. While cyclists are able to generate the energy required to charge a mobile phone battery (around 10 watt hours) within minutes using the strong leg muscles, a casual wrist workout produces a comparatively small amount of energy. I expect that it takes many hours of wrist action to charge a phone this way. Since there's a spinning wheel inside, I imagine that it feels quite nice though.

Granny says if ya could hook up a generator... ... to Uncle Ferd an' his g/f's when dey get goin' at it... ... ya could power the whole town.
Gyroscopes are hardly new. At best, this person just "invented" this by bringing together existing technology in a new way. The challenge is always going to be with a device like this is how battery life might be shortened by too much deep cycling.
Well Infowars is a lot more reliable and informative than the MSM. The Guardian just wrote a whopper of fake news about Assange... and that comes right after Jeff the Bozo's propaganda sheet the Wash. Post was forced to retract it's own 'fake news'. But they don't care, honesty has never been a virtue as far as liberals are concerned.
This is not new. In the 1970's wrist watches were charged by the motion of the watch as the persons arm moved. Some were mechanical methods, some were quartz, some were magnetic.
