could you use the hand crank to power an AC wall wart which can then charge the device of your choice?

I doubt the generator can provide anywhere near 120V. Though some of the circuitry from one of those may be useful.

That's was my question, do you have to hit the full 120V for the converter to work, or just the amount you're converting to?

Those transformers in the wall warts need the full 120V, though if he bypassed the transformer the rest of the circuit should only require you to be within the proper range, in fact the circuit Kerm posted is most likely very similar to what is in the wall wart.
