- the handle 63 is another side of the rod body 61 can be received in the third receiving space 15 of the device body 10 so as to present a beautiful outlook an attractive appearance and to be carried conveniently (referring to FIG. 4 ). It should by be noted that when the pivot rod 62 is firmly secured to the device body 10 , it is connected to one end of the gear set 20 so that the movable rod 60 can drive the gear set 20 to rotate.
- FIG. 5 a block diagram for illustrating alternative embodiments of the present invention is are illustrated.
- the generator 30 When the movable rod 60 rotates, the generator 30 will operate by the driving of the gear set 20 so as to generator generate a current. The current is suppressed, rectified and regulated by the voltage and current control loop 40 . Then the current flows to a regulator loop 80 . Then the power can be outputted to an external charger 81 or internal LEDs 82 72 or to a charger/battery 50 for further supply to other required equipment 83 or to a .
