if you need a guinea pig for your new invention, sign me up!

HAHA. i very well may. Right now i have to get past the physical attributes of the flashlight. There's really (almost) too much force needed to move the magnet back and forth through the coils, generating the electrical current for the bulb (in this case.. motor). i suppose i could solve it by inner lubrication with a graphite composite, or maybe expand the chamber a little. graphite may throw the whole thing off, though and i don't knwo what expansion would do to the conductive nature of the windings since generators are on a very small tolerance scale.

In theory, i can generate enough current for the motor with the smaller flashlight which seems to take less effort to use. That being the case perhaps there could even be a hybridized form where the battery is only backup or something. It's still got problems, but i'm getting there. I did neglect to see if it was even possible to generate enough electricity to run a small motor with the flashlight.

Is that too technical of an update?
