"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes.



Ummm yeeeeeeeeeeah

Ya walk into a room and there's this guy shaking his flashlight every 2-3 minutes like mad ,... only one thought appears .....issues

I guess it'd be good if you're only gonna need a light for a short time ,.. but if you're working on something and need the light do you really want to have to stop and umm shake your light, every few minutes ?  lol

actually i like the idea!

it's a good thing to have in your car (or tank in Sandwich's case) so if ever it breaks down at night or something you don't have to worry about dead batteries, you just shake it.  also good in emergencies (in Sandwich's case:  if the tread breaks and you have to make repairs during a battle).

I like it a lot :yes:

there's be things like that for watches for ages ;) with the continous movement of your end, it doesn't even need to be shaked, the watch works by itself. My grandpa has ne like that, it's cool.

I have one like that - these things rock. It's got 6 months of charge in that just doesn't run down because I'm wearing it every day. Brilliant technology.

Every 2 minutes you're lying in bed and you hear someone in the kitchen cussing, then you hear violent shaking... you know someone's broken in ;)

There are also ones that you pump by hand, a bit more convenient.

But me, I'm sticking to my halogen bulb and quad D cells. Inefficient, but you can see for half a mile.:D

Yeah, my dad had one of those. But the difference is that the amount of energy that a watch takes up is (I believe) far less than the amount a flashlight uses.

flashlights that you have to squeese to get light already existed in WW2, in dutch they're called a "knijpkat", bets translated as a "squeesing cat", because of the sounds it makes. they work just becuase of a dynamo. they're still sold in outdoor spoerting stores. and they have good light production AFAIK
