    Introduction to making a homemade flashlight?

    Sorry that I missed your post I was typing a response to Fireclaw's post and I was interrupted, came back an hour later posted and then saw your post. Thanks for telling me about finding out the approximated run time! If I wire the batteries in parallel I can only get "1.2 - 1.4 volts" so can I...

    Introduction to making a homemade flashlight?

    Most of the LED mods I've seen on here used round solid aluminum billets, now with the angle bar or better yet with a aluminum square tube I can have some of it sticking out so it can radiate the heat away. I just shot him an email. I want to squeeze as much light out as possible while running...

    Introduction to making a homemade flashlight?

    About the heat sink, is it necessary for it to have fins? When I went to dome depot yesterday they had thick aluminum angle bars that looked great for heat sinking. Also when I was there I got a big piece of polycarbonate which is 3/32 of an inch thick, I am probably going to have to stack...

    Thanks for posting! I was hoping during the last couple of years that I missed, something new came out but apparently not much happened. Remember the aluminum foil lamp? Any updates on it? I can't seem to find any article after 2007. Bummer...

    Future lighting technologies

    I've noticed that a lot of the new lighting technologies that are coming out usually require a secondary part in order to operate. For example plasma lamps and induction lamps need a magnetron/induction coil to work and LED lamps need a step down circuit so they don't burn out from the high...

    Gluing granite to rubber?

    Hello, I am planning on modifying my current boots to have more traction on most surfaces. Now granite appears to be more wear resistant then the sheet metal screws that I use now for better traction, the only problem is how do I get the granite to strongly bound to the rubber(or have a strong...

    long life pencil for cheap people

    I found that using .022" diameter silver bearing solder in a 0.5mm Pentel PD345 works when you want light marks and a unbreakable lead no matter how many times the pencil falls. Also aluminum wire works, been using a piece of wire in a pentel RSVP for awhile now, but again light marks. Lead...

    Looks like I can escape this LED and fluorescent purgatory after all! Hopefully this doesn't fade away into obscurity like so many other new lighting technologies. Is it really necessary to ban incandescent lights? Are they going to straight out ban them? Or scale down the production of...
