There is also a torch which can be shaken. It comprises a tube with
a fixed magnet at each end. In the tube is a third magnet which is
free to move.

No the black things at each end of the tube are bits of rubber to stop
the thing making a racket as you shake it. Be warned that the magnet
is powerful, it'll almost stick the torch to a vertical steel surface
and it's a good 3/8" from that surface. Probably not a good idea to
have one in the same bag as a wallet/purse containing mag strip
cards...
