5K10.25 Flashlight Charged by Induction coil

A flashlight is available that uses a capacitor charged up by moving a magnet back and forth through a coil instead of batteries. Output of coil is fed to capacitor through a full wave rectifier so charges up with magnet going right to left and vice versa.

 

Picture: Not Yet Available

 

Setup Requirements: Off the shelf. You will have to move the magnet back and forth a number of times to get the leds to light up. 

 

Equations: Faraday's Law: An EMF is induced that is proportional to time rate of change of magnetic flux.

 

Safety Issues: None
