I like it. I'm just a little confused as to what it is used for.
It's a crank light. You turn the crank and it lights up the LEDs. It's a DIY version of things like this.Quote:

Another feature of this light is it can be gravity driven with a #8 ball chain and a weight attached to the chain. Here is a video of the 1st prototype being chain driven. http://youtu.be/XNj1datjETQ
The gentleman that sells the Dynamos doesnt seem to be selling them right now. I have a bunch of the dynamos if anyone is interested.
