description: "Trevor Graham Baylis was an English inventor best known for the wind-up radio. The radio, instead of relying on batteries or an external electrical source, is powered by the user winding a crank. This stores energy in a spring which then drives an electrical generator. Baylis invented it in response to the need to communicate information about AIDS to the \"people of Africa\". He ran a company in his name dedicated to helping inventors to develop and protect their ideas and to find a route to market."
