Maybe to an elephant the arm is like a trunk which is normally on the front of the animal.

A pully system could allow even a child to raise a great big bag of rocks, pulling a long rope hand over hand (against a safety ratchet) which would still be faster than winding up a torch. It might be better if the mechanical stuff was all made locally and the only thing they has to buy was the efficient LED/dynamo component.

It also gives you the ability to permanently filter out annoying sites from your search results with a single click. Brilliant.
