Hello guys,
I want to present my new Lamp design here,
After a decade involved in antique Lantern collection, restoration, and electrification, i proudly present you my new Lamp design.
The one that marries the past and contemporary technology with a steampunk twist. It took me like 2 years of painstaking experimentation, design and development, refinements and improvements (with a lot more room to improve or further develop). I present you my Electrophorus thermo-lamps / Electrical generators.
I developed 3 parallel models with variations
