Educational Hand-Powered Flashlight Kit

by Justin Thomas, Virginia on 11.11.05

This Dynamo Hand-Powered Flashlight comes as a kit at your assemble. Apparently it takes about 30 minutes to put together, and is intended to teach kids the principles of electrical generation. It also has a translucent casing that was designed so children could see how squeezing the handle spins a magnetic disc between two coils of copper wire, creating and transferring an electrical current to a light bulb. It's being sold for $12.95. We featured a similar Dynamo Flashlight previously. :: Dynamo Hand-Powered Flashlight via Unplugged Living

These are great, my mother bought my brothers and I one each for Christmas years ago as sort of a joke (they are Russian) but I still use mine, and my father stole my brother's and has it in his glovebox. This one looks a lot nicer than mine, which is obviously a cold war relic.
