Dynamo Torch and Windmill Generator Eco Toys

For some reason, I really like kids eco toys, and the Dynamo Torch and Windmill Generator are no different.

The Dynamo Torch kit is a an educational eco toy that demonstrates how hand-motion, i.e. kinetic energy, can be transferred into electrical energy to light a light bulb. The kit contains an LED light bulb, a motor, gears, and full instructions. A drinks bottle can also be used to turn it into a lantern of sorts. Priced at $12.20 and aimed at kids 8 or older.

The Windmill Generator is very similar to the dynamo torch, but this time wind power is converted into electrical energy. The kit requires the kids to use a drinks bottle to support the motor and propeller. Then when the wind blows, the LED lights up. Priced at $9.95 and also aimed at kids 8 or older.

Gentle Illumination – Wind Powered LED Lights

Due to the fairly low light output of LEDs, it’s easy to see that LEDs offer great potential for micro-illumination, i.e. enough lighting for a very small area. LEDs offer very directional lighting, and this dictates what they can be used for without using special diffusers. However, Jason Bruges found a novel use for a wind powered LED light and has used them to light up a tower in Southbank (London, UK). (more…)
