The funkyest flashlight ever!!! haha!

Hi

As I have told earlier (to the ones who read it I usually have the title "the flashlight man" at our offroad-camps. This year I had with me my new U2, which I by the way love!

but this year I lost my title

"I give you the Kawasaki Diamond"


Take a look at this obscure lamp




What shall I bring to win next year??

Thats pretty crazy looking. Did you build that or buy it? have any pics of the front? Is it a spot light? Can you list specs? Thanks. Very interesting

And I thought I had seen it all.

Sweet!!!! - How many LPG does she get - That's... lumens per gallon

It's not mine

And I don't have any spec on it... :-(

donno if you can see it, but the exhaust is in the feets


genius

I guess that'll be great if you lack electric power, but have gas. I bet that thing will run for hours on one tank. It's a work light, right?

I think so, or somekind of rescue hardware. Since it has this option of taking the head off and add a longer kable it has to be a work or rescue thing.

ofcourse it could work like a camping equipment with the generator outside the tent

Kind of Rube-Goldbergesque to burn gas to generate electricity to light a bulb, when gasoline could be burned directly in a mantle in near-silence with higher efficiency. But then if it has a 12v or 110v power output I guess it could be useful for other stuff.

My suggestion for next year would be for a gas chainsaw with arc lamp.

the 2 stroke smoke will make its beam show up better too.

actually - after a few beers out there in the woods, we where at some sort of V8 - the problem is what lamp to use - a stadium light element?

Cool, it runs on beer. Looks like it prefers German beer.

Bebe,

I lightened up the pictures so you could see some more details.

I am thinking of this setup to run very high output bulbs for hours, like the 14000 lumen spotlight someone made here. or the 1000w airplane reflector mod someone made.

How loud is it during operation? Interesting concept, maybe a few 12V sockets to power other stuff would be nice too. I'm going to investigate if this is light can be bought.

very impressive!



Where would you rank it in respect to lighting power?

I'm guessing like a auto headlight...but... who knows?

So far I haven't found anything in the internet about it, any model number, maker, or other information I could use to track who makes them?

allmost but not quite..

Great for those trips to the bathroom at night.

might need a real quiet muffler for the game of flashlight tag.

and with this:

you could mix a drink in the woods at night!

Maybe like an old cars headlight - with a new reflector and glass.

It says Kawasaki Diamond, and KT12 on the engine. which I found out is a engine used on lawnmovers and that kind of stuff... I found some spare parts only.

What do you think is between the engine and the lamp?
The light effect was propotional with the rpm - so some sort og dynamo/generator to 12V I guess - so it can use a standard car headlamp.

I want to build something that uses a lamp that has a very high output of effect, maybe a car xenon-light would be good...
