Thought it was bad enough having a great big speaker hanging out of the side of those phones

Have a look at the webiste:

How does it work?
The action of a gyroscoop (like the Manual Power) is based on Newton’s first law, which states that an object in motion will proceed thin motion in the same direction, unless subjected to outside forces. A practical example can be seen with hammer throwing, with which an athlete throws a hammer into the field, after spinning a couple of times around his own axis. The force that the athlete experiences from the hammer is pointed outwards, and is called centrifugal force. To hold the hammer, the athlete is practicing a contrary force. The magnitude of both forces are dependent on the rotary speed.
When the rotor is set in motion, it will produce an outward directed force. By countering this force with the power from your hand, not only does the rotor stay in motion, the rotation speed can also be increased.
By applying the force to keep the rotor in motion, the hand, arm and neck muscles are trained. Furthermore, the power generated can be used to charge certain electronic devices (like your cell-phone and to power the forever flashlight!) When non of these functions are used, the generated power can be stored in the battery of the Manual Power and used later.
The rotor can be started with the help of a starting cord, which is stored in the rotor cover.
First, remove this cover. Next, put the hardened end of the starting cord in the hole of the rotor and wrap the starting cord twice tightly around the rotor. Guide the starting with your finger or thumb. Hold the Manual Power with its flashlight up, so that the end of the starting cord hangs downwards. Firmly pull the starting cord downwards, out of the rotor. Put the cover back. You can now train with the Manual Power in different ways, described op the ‘Exercises’ page.
