In an emergency, some people rely on their smartphones and laptops for information. But, if you don’t know that the power is going to go out, what do you do if you have no charge on your phone or computer when everything goes dark

Luckily there are a few clever – and downright crazy – methods of charging up your smartphone without needing to plug it into an outlet.
