What is the “Faraday Principle of Electromagnetic Energy” and how does the Forever Flashlight use it?
The Forever Flashlight uses the Faraday Principle of Electromagnetic Energy to create the electricity it needs to charge itself. The Faraday Principle describes how a magnetic field can produce electric current in a wire that passes through it. When the Forever Flashlight is shaken sideways, a magnet slides back and forth through a copper wire coil. This action produces electricity which is then stored in a capacitor instead of a battery. What is a “Capacitor” and why does the Forever Flashlight use one? A capacitor is a basic electronic component that stores electric charge. A capacitor is used in the Forever Flashlight instead of a battery because of the amount of electrical power generated by the shaking of the flashlight and because it is easily rechargeable. Less power is required by the Forever Flashlight than with normal flashlights. The Forever Flashlight’s capacitor holds enough charge for over 5 minutes of bright light without further shaking.
