Yeah (on eBay or Amibay, when I get around to it).
The nostalgia fades quite quickly with original 8 bit computer hardware when you have to wait several minutes to load stuff off tape...I know you can get memory card interfaces and the like for them, but I can fit the entire catalogue of Spectrum and ZX81 software on my mobile 'phone and emulate them.
Also, I'm trying to get away from having a horder's mentality, having had to shift a load of my stuff in a recent house move.

I hope they've thought ahead and included it.
I wouldn't want them to miss out on catering.

I saw this the other day, however....
It's not an improvement on the wind up lights already on the market and those you can get for under $1.
It's just using the old weighted mechanism that grandfather clocks have used for centuries.
Lifting a bag of rocks every 30 minutes is not always an option ( think old and infirm here)
They were tasked to create a solar light.
Africa has solar resources coming out of its arse why ignore that?
Lots a clock work for fine african dust to jam up.
It's not a portable light. (when in use)
So those nighttime trips to the shitter are going to be just as scary.

Here you go
www.alibaba.com/product-gs/220513220/dynamo_wind_up_flashlight.html
For the amount these guys are asking for you can supply 114,583 Africans with free light.
No it hasn't got a couple of terminals for charging stuff however if a load only powers an LED for 30 minutes then it's next to useless for any meaningful power recharging.

possibly why the people that asked them to do it in the first place aren't supplying the funds they are now chasing

The video should say
we were asked to design a simple and cheap lighting solution that uses the sun's power, something Africa has quite alot of. Instead we designed a completely different product and the charity said "nice but it's not fucking solar powered is it beardy?".
Regardless, I still admire their efforts. Although thinking about it if the kids in the African villages just bought kindles with back lit screensthe problem would be solved.

I didn't know that Africa has solar resources coming out of its arse.
Where?

The sun?
Pretty major solar resource right there.
I don't mean to come down hard on this project but they were given a brief which they ignored.
A brief no doubt given to them by people that know the situation on the ground.
For the amount of money they are asking for and diverting away from other African NGO's you could do a lot more good if the idea is cheap / free lighting.

I agree, they ignored the brief
Unfortunately, PhotoVoltaic (PV) panels are not cheap enough yet for true third-world use. However, if the PV paints/coatings (Corus developments etc) take off, it won't matter that they are less efficient than the doped silicon used as present, because Africa has a shitload of sunlight to harvest and lots of corrugated iron to paint them on.
That's not to say that the weight idea doesn't have merit - it's just NOT what the brief asked.

How can they run cities and trains by painting corrugated iron, that's what I want to know.
They need to build proper infrastructure. You can teach a man to fish but you can't lead a horse to a bush with 2 birds in it, as the saying goes.
