Megaphone with no batteries required

Here is a very original megaphone that doesn't require any batteries. It is built around a shake flashlight that is powered by its own internal electrolytic capacitor that we previously charged from the energy of our muscles - by shaking hands of course.

Inductive circuit inside a flashlight is kept as-is and a simple LM386 audio amplifier was constructed on a proto-board. A speaker is mounted inside a plastic cup (acting as a sound funnel) and glued at the other end of a flashlight.

Now, all you need to do is make sure you don't run out of energy whilst making a very important speech for the masses.
