We discovered that the flashlight uses a simple LED light and circuit that is powered by three watch batteries. The movement of the flashlight comes from the energy of pushing the button - which releases the spring and turns the viscous hinges. Once the viscous hinges turn, the circuit is completed so the light turns on.
We chose this object because of its interesting mechanical aspect. Although the technical aspect of the flashlight is not complicated, it still performs a complicated enough movement that appeals to us.
