Make Your Own Crude Shaking Torch (Emergency Flashlight)

In this project I will show you how I combined a joule thief circuit with a coil and a magnet in order to create a shaking torch which is an emergency flashlight that does not require batteries.Let's get started!

The video gives you an overview on what is necessary to do to create your own shaking torch. The next steps will contain useful extra information.

For the project you will need a joule thief circuit. You can find a parts list for it and the instruction to build it by following this link: https://www.instructables.com/id/Supercapacitor-Jou...
