You know the LED lights advertised on TV that you shake to charge up?
Are there any that actually work well?
See, my dad has received 2 of them (different brands I think) and so far both are crap. You have to sit there shaking them frantically for quite a while just to get a very dim and VERY purple beam, it's really quite sad.
Also, these are supposedly for emergencies because you can generate the power yourself, but... Don't they have a small battery of some kind? How do they store the charge? Or do they just use a capacitor?
I think it would be kind of cool to have one if it actually worked well and didn't have any parts that could degrade over time.
