Build a Shake Flashlight—
Demonstration Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Shake and light up your classroom! Engage students by building a flashlight that
doesn’t need batteries—it harnesses and stores the power of a handshake. Students
see a real-world application of Faraday’s law of magnetic induction and learn how to
build a circuit. Powerful neodymium magnets are shaken through 600 feet of coiled
magnet wire, inducing an alternating current. An arrangement of diodes converts the
current from AC to DC, which is stored in a supercapacitor. Simply flip the switch, and
the capacitor releases the stored energy in the form of light through an LED. Flashlight
can be dismantled and reassembled or left completed. Includes all components to
create one shake flashlight detailed instructions and a reproducible student worksheet.

Plasma Globe
Create a safe lightning storm in the comfort of your classroom. The electrically
charged base creates colorful arcs across the gas inside the globe. Watch as the
electric arcs migrate toward a hand placed on the globe. Use it to teach about
positive and negative charges, grounded objects and lightning production. Globe
diameter is 4". Includes a power adapter.

Tesla Coil
Self-contained, hand-held Tesla coil produces a high voltage at a high frequency.
Coil can be used to light fluorescent bulbs, spectrum tubes, and incandescent bulbs
without wires or touching! The heavy-duty case is a convenient handle. The 2" electrode
has an output between 10,000 to 50,000 volts at a frequency of approximately
500 kHz. The intensity of the 1” spark is adjustable by a knob on the end of the unit.
Unit is designed for intermittent use and must be turned off to cool after ten minutes
of use. AP5443 is equipped with an ON/OFF momentary switch in the handle for
improved safety.

Tesla Coil, Tabletop
Spark enthusiasm in your classroom! Hold a fluorescent lightbulb near the Tesla
coil and watch it glow—no wires needed. Amaze your students by allowing a
continuous 50,000-volt electric spark to jump safely onto your finger. You can’t do
that with a Van de Graaff generator! Use this hands-free Tesla coil to demonstrate
the unusual properties of high-frequency electrical phenomena. This electrifying
device is bound to have your students asking questions and becoming excited
about science and technology. Along the way, teach many important topics
such as transformers, electromagnetism, resonating electrical circuits, electric
inductance, capacitance, and electrical power transmission. The set includes two
antenna plates, small neon lightbulb, mini discharge electrode, and lamp socket.
Detailed instructions containing background information and 18 experiments are
also provided.
