The XO (OLPC's system) was originally supposed to have a crank attached to the case to power an internal generator. This wasn't found to be rugged enough, and they switched to a foot petal. At least that's what I remember. Looking through the specs on their website I don't see any mention of an external power generator. So, I'm not sure what they're supposed to do with it after the battery runs down.
