ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a toy comprised of a vehicle that is capable of generating electrical energy and a body that can be physically and electrically connected to and disconnected from the vehicle. In one embodiment, the body comprises a light and a capacitor that stores electrical energy produced by the generator when the body is connected to the vehicle and the vehicle is used to produced electrical energy. After separation of the body from the vehicle, the capacitor provides electrical energy to the light that allows a child to separately use the body as a torch or flashlight. In another embodiment, the vehicle includes a speaker and the body includes a memory device that stores a signal that can be played over the speaker when the body is connected to the vehicle. In yet a further embodiment, a toy vehicle is provided in which an electrical generator uses the kinetic energy produced by the reciprocating motion of at least one wheel of the vehicle about an axis that is spaced from the wheel to produce electrical energy that can be used to drive an electrical device.
