The SYNIOSBEAM - CFT90 recoil thrower

It’s certainly very nice that you are actually doing this!

The shape reminded me of this movie…

Thanks :slight_smile: I am still making small improvements to the cooling system, when it is finalized I will post more pictures of it and explain everything.
Currently the tubing I’m using is too thick and stiff, and is pushing on the reflector too much.
Also there’s a tubing run in the way of removing the reflector so I’m gonna need to split the single copper coil into two pieces so that one is water to the LED and one is water back from LED, instead of how it is now, which is coil to the LED and then extra tubing run going back to the pump.


Yeah, it is really unique, very few LED lights that have a recoil reflector, usually it is just short arcs.
I wanted to try new things :slight_smile: Also wanted more lux than the optofire without spending $1000 on a custom lens.


Yeah, I think I will need to do that.
What do you guys think of RecoilBeam?
I will no longer put the name of the LED in the name :stuck_out_tongue: too many possibilities of LED swaps.


Thanks so much for helping me out in making this possible :slight_smile:
I won’t need to have a big ugly external driver strapped to the light to use a CFT90!

Lol nice photoshop, you even got the size perfect!

About your water pump, do you have room for a larger one that would have to work less hard?

Nope, there is close to 0 space left!
It’s not getting hot now that it’s heatsinked well though.

RecoilBeam reminds me on those small ultrafire recoil led flashlights (UF 007, 008), and it will mess google search by bringing them into search results.

Be more creative than that :stuck_out_tongue: .

Enderbeam :smiley:

:+1:

Or maybe Enderman Endlessbeam

Wow.. pretty sick stuff here! That is impressive!

EnderFire™.

LuminousBeam™
Model CFT-90

Sick!

Awesome :smiley: You gotta find a way to “shrink it” and make it the pocket thrower of the century :smiling_imp:
Nice work :+1:

Don’t forget to machine an attack-bezel for it!

After all, it wouldn’t be “tactical” without one! :smiling_imp:

NeverEnderBeam :person_facepalming:

I kinda like the current name. It has a kind of futuristic/scientific/outer space type of sound to it.
I didn’t associate it with the led the first time I red it.

You should contact Disney so they can put this in the next star wars film as a hand held death star with the newest beam technology called the syniosbeam. :smiley:

Oh yes :slight_smile: :+1:

True, that’s why I liked how unique syniosbeam was :confused:
If you google “recoilbeam” as one word however there are no other search results, so it’s still unique!
I might go wit that, or stick with the current name.


Would rather not have my forum username be part of it :stuck_out_tongue:


Thank you!


This is a good one but I’m not sure if I want to have it named after an LED, what if in the next few months something even better comes out from cree or osram?


Thanks :slight_smile: Some time in the near future I want to mod/build a single-cell compact EDC light that can do like 1-2km or more!


Haha, just hide this tactical flashlight in your pocket :slight_smile:


Yeah it’s a pretty unique name, and the the light was designed around that LED, so maybe it would be more appropriate if I just describe why the LED choice changed mid-build.
Rather than pretending I chose a different LED from the start.
Changing the name to “recoilbeam” would still allow me to explain why the beginning LED was changed while having a unique flashlight name.
Thanks for all the suggestions :slight_smile:
