Another name I was considering was the H.S. Persuader. Every person I've shown this light to, including my dear sweet mother, has shouted "Holy Shit!" once I turned it on.
Im still looking at that thinking that the grooves for the fins could and should be much deeper............. hahahah! where do you find such chunks of aluminium?
At work we use 6"x14"x50foot sections as bus work for carrying large amounts of power to a DC arc furnace. This piece came of the corner of a scrap chunk that was sitting around in mud for the last 6+ years...
As a side note, I just realized that Boaz came close to designing this light for me awhile back in this post .
You Sir, are a very sick man! Are those ants that I see leaping off that smoldering tree just before the bark ignites? Those poor ants!
Well done Match. I want one! You might want to pull the battery pack out after each use to let it cool down separately of the light. Ive had 3 of my Powergenix AA's leak on me during heavy discharge.
Hey match, I am a machinist and wouldn't mind the dimensions or a drawing of that head for future reference when I decide to tackle a project such as this :)
If this is what happens while puttering around when you happen to have a "box of emitters" I can just imagine what kind of torch you might create when you get serious.
"The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day', and the darkness he called 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day."
