			* Where is the yellow crank?
			** It turns out this was not a good design for generating power. Leg muscles are stronger and better for humans to generate power or solar panels as used in Peru. This is only feaseable due to the low power requirements.
			* How long does the laptop last on a full charge?
			** About 4 hours which is enough for typical school days of the deployments, some of which teach school in shifts, some outdoors.
			** Even the low power requirements of the XOs would require quite a bit of work to keep them charged. Most deployments charge using eletrical power mains. Sometimes generators or solar panels are used.
