What the f*ck are you rambling on about?

You do know that many of those "dynamo" flash lights that were
supposedly powered by movement, actually had tiny batteries in them to
run the lights... Because the LED was so efficient a little button
cell could be hidden in the head of the flashlight and would run it
for many hours.

The "shaker" and tube of copper wire was all for show.

I think samaden was PUI. Posting Under the Influence.
He asserts that flashlights had lead acid batteries.
Lead acid batteries are used in automobiles.
(did you have to check the water level occasionally?)

I bought a "shaker" LED flashlight in a dollar store for $3 thinking it was
a great deal,but it turned out it had two 3V lithium cells,a CR2032 and a
CR2012,the induction coil wires were not even connected,the "magnet" was a
piece of unmagnetized soft iron,and there was no storage capacitor on the
little circuit board.

did you know there are cylindrical sealed lead acid batteries?
I had a battery pack that comprised 6 of them to make 12V,they were F-sized
cells.
You can also buy Coleman camping lanterns at WalMart that have sealed lead
acid battery packs.
