I DON'T use any electronic devices, but many do, and the subject comes up fairly regularly. I'm sure that as the old school paddlers die out and the younger generation of paddlers, many who can't/won't do without their gadgets takes over, the search for power will continue ::)
 I did some research and found a couple of out-of the box ideas that were very clever.

One could be adapted to the paddle power idea, I think, IF one could find a "prop" that would turn the shaft ( like drill paint mixer) with enough force to generate power.

The other is a clever adaption of a crank powered flashlight to re-charge batteries. Maybe more suited to topping them off, than bringing them back from the dead?
