Will anyone make this spring driven personal electricity generator?

  I made a clock charge a battery a few years back
  
  - YouTube
  
  I found a Japanese inventor made a model of his own
  
  Cyclus Step2 on Behance
  
  I cant find anyone in Canada who will make my piece professionally
  
  Can anyone in the world make this piece so I can sell it in Canada

  Hi #-Link-Snipped-# Welcome to CrazyEngineers.
  
  The news you are pointing at is quite old. Satoshi Yanagisawa, who designed it, is a product/industrial designer. It was just in his imagination I guess.
  But I agree with you that the concept is quite brilliant.
  
  The name of this project is “Cyclus” - a spring driven personal electricity generator.
  
  It is a hand held device, whose bottom when twisted, provides 30 minutes of energy via the inner located spring via “rotation energy.” T
  
  The energy generated is enough to drive the DC motor to produce energy approximately equal to 6.6V 3W.
  
  Here's a diagram:

  There are many hand cranked devices in the market. I had a squeeze operated flash light more than sixty years back. The unit sits in the hand. One just keeps squeezing the lever that sits under the thumb and the bulb at the front will light up.
  This one requires cranking:

  I am a little confused , it is this with a maxon geared motor and a spring on the bottom( because a geared motor works on 20rpm his motor would have to be geared down) Uniform and scalable reduction gear (1:256) by mattheus - Thingiverse

  a hand crank makes no sense if i can put a spring on the bottom,

  Let me get this clear, is the discussion about - Why is no one manufacturing this?
• 

  james matheson

  yes , my problem is I suffered a disability that makes it that I require to have my cellphone operational , many people have said I don't deserve to have my cellphone ready when I need it, and it has caused me to become homeless because of my disability ( I can give you full info but mostly) I need this
  Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects
  with a maxon geared motor with a spring on the bottom
  I need it , it is the only way I can safely go into regions with the condtions I suffered, I am so sorry I have a disability, I can feel more shame for having to ask someone to make this for me

  again I am sorry I have a disability that prevents me, I have no other option

  I made a clock make electricity
  
  - YouTube
  
  it can charge a cellphone and small devices
  
  my piece is unprofessional and I need the piece made professionally
  
  if I am lucky I will mass produce the product and sell it
  
  either way we need a clock that makes electricity
  
  the clock I made charges a cellphone
  
  I made a clock produce electricity
  
  it was 2 gears added to the main spring of a clock attached to a maxon geared
  
  motor, I could have used a $1 motor but then I would have to gear it down
  
  I made a clock produce electricity
  
  because I did this now I am homeless
  
  I wrote the book " the man who became homeless to give the world clock powered electricity"
  
  and they didn't publish my book
  
  I hope someone makes the piece I show you professionally
  
  I need a light when I am sleeping outside at night ( I can only hand crank for so long)
  
  I hope someone makes this piece professionally , I am only good with glue and tape
  
  and even glue and tape I lag in
  
  all the best to everyone

  I doubt it can charge cell phones.
  
  Anyway, I would like to reiterate the law of conservation of energy here. "Energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed. It can be only converted from one form to another". What you're doing is nothing new and I am sorry to say, it cannot be done on a large scale. That small spring is incapable of storing any meaningful amount of energy.
  You'll need some really big clock with gigantic spring. But then, how will you wind the spring?

  many have quoted and none have agreed which is why I am a genius and when your ready to argue you need to write : Cyclus Step2 on Behance and argue with him, Im tired of debating with you, its pointless

  I made a clock produce electricity it was really simple ( with the help of a mechanic only because I am not good at aligning gears to make it look professional)
  I showed a group who claimed they wanted renewable energy
  They stole my piece , and lots of stuff happened , so much I wrote a book about it.
  I offered $5000 to make my piece professionally and all I got was insults
  if any one want to make the piece professionally I know it is needed
  Here is one that I made that was stolen
  #-Link-Snipped-#v=ZX34d7zC9SQ&feature=youtu.be
  It is a clock main spring with 2 small gears attached to a maxon geared motor
  I could have used a $1 motor but I would have the gear the motor down
  I know everyone needs to charge their cellphone, cameras, batteries etc
  this works without sun and can charge a solar panel
  I hope someone is interested it is very simple
  the last person complained a spring doesn't have force which makes no sense
  I can get a spring that can catapult a 200 pound stone in the air
  it is simple I hope someone does doing this alone is annoying
