So it is with power supplies: well, our parents and grandfathers did not have capacious batteries, but this did not stop them from building a BAM. And the secret lies in the simple laws of physics and mechanics, and even a little - chemistry.
What is required to make a flashlight with a mechanical power source
The author of this master class took as a basis regular plastic bottle from kefir.
And the last part of this device is a small electric motor that you can extract from almost any electrical appliance.
Warming, bending and winding - the secret of assembling a flashlight
The main thing in a bottle is a wide neck. It is for this reason that you need to choose a bottle of kefir for a flashlight - they have the largest lid diameter.
A bit of a strange detail actually has a very trivial purpose - it's a handle for a motor, a simple plastic starter.
You now have in your hands an almost eternal flashlight that feeds on your energy. With such a device it is not scary to get lost in a forest or in a cave, it will not let you down.
Phosphor: a simple way to create a flashlight
And there is also a simpler and no less effective version of a camping flashlight without batteries. And you only need a phosphor powder and a bottle for it.

Now, if you need light, you just need to shake the bottle and you will get a greenish glow that will dispel the darkness.
