Flashlight with Hand GeneratorFlashlight with Hand Generator is powered by your hand squeezing a grip to generate electricity. This flashlight will never run out of batteries because it doesn't use them. It guarantees light anywhere at anytime with just a squeeze. Because it is so unusual, we decided to make it available for museum disaster kits.
