Remember that Elaine could recharge her thorn-wand by just plugging into a wall-socket, and she's got similar training to Harry (she's just "more elegant").

I think Harry's rings are (or could easily be re-made) similarly-amenable to mechanical recharge.

It might have to be more linear than rotational, though -- the force rings are pretty explicitly one trick, linear thrust (though if he does have to re-make them anyhow, he might include some rotational and other variants).

Maybe he could find a supermarket or similar, with a sliding-door that opens & closes many times per hour, all day long...

To add to g33k's answer, IIRC it states in the book where they are introduced that they are charged by kinetic energy. I take that to mean that anything that generates kinetic energy should charge the rings up.

TrueMonk:
I still think Toot, or possibly more members of the guard with force rings would be great. They are allways topped off because they are moving all the time and if he needs them to attack something it would be the knives/nails setup dialled up.

I agree that it's storing kinetic energy,  the difference being the source of the energy, I think it's coming from Harry and his movement,  not the motion of the rings themselves. 
If all it needed was for the rings to be moving then he could have been doing that for years, instead he wears them and hits the big bag.
