simple generator?
(OP)
Hi all , I read a thread about this which mentioned generators for LED flashers in shoes and yoyos etc. Can someone kindly explain how these work and the key parameters . For example what determines the power or voltage available from such a device? I guess flashing lights on bycicles use virtally the same principle? are energy storing devices ( such as capicitors ) used in such arrangements so that the LED can be lit when the motion stops? I am trying to see if i can use this principle to Light up some high power LEDs . Not my field so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks . Opticsman.

In the few cases where there actually is a generator they work just like the 'shaker' flashlights.
Google for "shake flashlight" find a clear,(see thru) one, buy it, and learn.

I've taken apart several examples of each. The running shoes typically use a 3-volt CR20xx-series cell. The yoyos typically use several small alkaline button cells in series.
The only thing I've seen like a shake-powered flashlight are the shake-powered flashlights.
