Charge Your Cellphone with a Flashlight
Yesterday, I posted about one of the most useless bits of cell phone technology
I’ve seen in a while. Today, I’m pleased to show you a video of one of
the coolest gadgets I’ve used in a long time. I’ve written about the Zipping Flashlight from Gadget Universe before. I really did purchase one of these from GU for everyone in my family for Christmas.
Alexander Innovation Wizard made a video of this flashlight available on Youtube. However, they didn’t actually show the coolest feature of this flashlight: you can charge a cell phone. Here it is in action!

Having a portable, rechargeable power source and light is great for anyone on set. [...]
