Oh Instructables, how you please me! Someone has put together an amazing tutorial on how to make your own shake light out of a ball point pen, a tic tac container, a refrigerator magnet, some wire, some cheap electronics, a switch and (if you want it to stay on while you're not shaking it) a rechargeable battery.

Not only is this made mostly out of trash, it's totally an self-sufficient and long-lasting flashlight. Hats off the all the MacGyvers of the world, this is an awesome project for any DIY minded EcoGeek.

I like this idea. I especially like the size of it.
