Think we can engineer it to not need a battery?
Electrolyte solution cathode in the battery tube, some sort of resin coating on the inner tube for the separation layer then the tantalum body is the anode.

FW3LN - Liquid Nitro, or
FW3DI - Dry Ice / FW3CD - Carbon Dioxide

UNLIMITED TURBO!!!

WTB FW3MF ā€¦. power source: ā€œMr. Fusionā€ :stuck_out_tongue:

May I propose the FW3O ā€“ The Osmium Edition.
Osmium is the densest element, is ridiculously hard, super high melting point, very rare (though not as expensive as gold). It also has a beautiful blueish/cold silver color. Heat transfer similar to iron, so better than titanium. Basically impossible to machineā€¦ So perfectly unreasonable for a flashlight :smiley:

That sounds great.
Anyone know where I can get some Osmium tubing? :laughing:

What about the ā€¦.

FW3PL - The Plutonium Edition.

I would sayā€¦.
ā€¦ā€¦ (and this is the first thing that popped in my head) between 1 April & 15 April.

Hoping for 17 March - 31 March though.... :wink:

Well while we are naming exotic hard to machine metalsā€¦
FW3ST - Stellite
FW3CA - Carbide
FW3TU - Tungsten
FW3CR - Chromium
FW3CE - Ceramic
FW3CO - Cobalt
All are quite fun to machine. I do get to machine some pretty exotic materials and its always a fun learning experience.

And for the more sci-fi folks we have the
FW3DM - Dark Matter
You have to keep it in a vacuum suspension chamber next to your Uranium and Plutonium models underneath your volcano evil lair.

We are currently 3D printing wear parts from these metals at my place of employment.
Stellite is quite popular for use in caustic environments.

:smiley: :sunglasses: :wink:

Yeah we use it for reactor plant valve seals and some turbine parts. I got to do some work with sintered parts as well a while back and we made some stuff from sintered Tungsten and ceramic with Molybenemum. Surface finish requirements were sub 20 RA using a Mitsubishi wire EDM and a tolerance of -+ 0.0001. What a flashlight that would make huh?

Humā€¦shouldnā€™t this be calledā€¦FW3FIRE? :smiley: :smiling_imp:

I would like to purchase one LH351D

Iā€™d like to get in on this light, thanks!

In for one XP-L HI 3D

Iā€™d like 1 as well. Whichever LED is available first. Thanks!

Probably so. :smiley: . :+1: . :wink:

no need for lithium cells , run it on dark energy.

FW3Ga

Galluim

Better have a VERY quick stepdown!!!

You joke, but what about a GaN FET driven flashlight. I figure if its good enough for chargers, why not flashlights?
