A ring to be worn on any finger with a
small generator inside, be it a small
counterweight attached to a coil or a
moveable magnet type.
The ring would have a large cut stone
with
a L.E.D behind it and also a super
capacitor inside to store power. The
components would also be complety
sealed in some sort of potting compound
with no user servicable parts that way it
would also be waterproof.
A tiny reed switch could also be
incorporated with a small magnet that
clips in place. That way you can decide to
keep the Light on or off,pretend to be the
green
lantern. :)
Actually i think it would be very handy to
have a light source always with you.

Yup. And kinetic light rings were discussed here, too, by [bobofthefuture]. [jurist, Sep 05 2005]

//and also a super capacitor inside to store power// - Exactly how big is this ring? |
|
| |
Yes i wrote that already one of those tiny
new super Capacitors. Not very big as
soon as i get a chance i will take a picture
of the ring i was thinking to do it with and
post a picture. |
|

Thanks for the links i see someone has
already thought or made it , but i was
thinking along the lines of something of
better quality that looks like a normal ring.
more along the lines of bobofthefuture's
idea. Just not a wedding ring. |
|
| |
At one point i was thinking also to light it
up with a tritium vial which would
probably look cool but not make very
much light. |
|
| |
i've always wanted my ring to light up. |

You're not putting a beta emitter anywhere near my ring. |

LOL why not they put them in watches.
For
that version i would line the underside
first
with lead and then epoxy.
Would that make you feel any
better? Dunno how Airport security
would
think about a radioactive ring though. |

On a side note i just voted for my own
idea by mistake how do i take away that
vote? I'm new to halfbakery and was just
clicking around. |

Voting for my own ideas just makes me feel a bit... dirty. Silly really, my ideas are all great. |

Sorry Wagster i just read your annotation
again and realized it was a quote from
what i wrote. I saw a few years ago that
some type of super capacitor was
invented, it was a 1 farad cap and was very
small, i could be wrong but i thing it might
have had aerogel or something inside, it
was awhile back so i might be confusing
the fact of the aerogel. |
