In this day and age a hand crank radio would seem rather primitive but there is a lot of room for them in our society. The number one function of a hand crank radio would be access to radio when power is not available. It is perfect for camping trips, hiking, fishing, or even your backyard. Another selling factor is the fact that it does it is completely battery free. Unlike regular radios where you have to feed it mountains of batteries, hand crank radios are completely manually powered.

Can you use a transistor radio without batteries?

A transistor radio typically requires batteries or an external power source to operate, as it relies on electrical energy to function. However, if the radio is designed with a hand-crank generator or solar panel, it may be possible to use it without traditional batteries.
