A dynamo powered radio torchlight. Dyrio is charged when the wheel is rotated. Therefore it solves the battery problem. The material used for the body is made from recyclable Polypropylene. Furthermore, Dyrio promotes the notion “play” as the user can roll the wheel along the floor.

Usefull to have when stranded somewhere due to natural disaster for example. Radio to listen to information or instructions. Torchlight to look in dark areas.

Clean concept. Great idea!

I'd make the wheel a little beefier so it can take a bit more abuse and so that those sharp edges don't get too beat up while you're charging the torch. Regarding your rendering: you might want to up your subdivisions in your materials and your light source to get rid of that splotchy look.
