I.ve found a way to keep my EFM going and up to the task in a power failure. I called EFM and asked if they would like to hear my solution as it would be an added selling point. Didn't want to hear anything about it so maybe I'll try to fabricate a few and try to sell them on my own.

StokerMan, you field all the calls? If so you missed that one. Once I let the secret out how am I supposed to sell any. It,s actually a very simple thing.

Well Mark I'll just let everyone in on it and cheat myself out of cash just because you want to know. I was born at night but not last night. I will give you a hint though. Stand there and look at it and figure what you would do if the power was out. I'm not pulling anyone's leg here. I have done it and it works.

This will be my last post on this. The only reason I started this was to let everyone know that companys don't care what a ( common) man has to offer. If they didn't think of it then it cannot exist!

LOL thats what I was thinking.

Course you could rig up a tube and pay a mexican to blow in it and turn the crank at the same time. That might work.
