PURPOSE: Demonstrate a weird but high-tech method for constructing a flashlight.
DESCRIPTION: This flashlight has a low voltage LED lamp but uses no battery. Instead, the power is generated by moving the flashlight back and forth along its length, causing a strong rare-earth magnet to pass back and forth through a coil. A low voltage AC current is created by this action. This current then passes through a bridge rectifier and charges a high-tech capacitor, which is used to power the light.
SUGGESTIONS: See accompanying data sheet in our Demonstration Reference File.
REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown)
EQUIPMENT: Flashlight.
SETUP TIME: None
