Something to design the steampunk flashlight on?

That is sweet.

Is there any more info on this flashlight?

This reminds me of an OL light creation.

My steampunk machine… any guesses at to what it is? It does have non-budget lightbulbs in it…

Enigma machine! :Sp

Close, but no banana…

Enema machine?

definitely a cool looking light !

:bigsmile:

awsome job on that Rufusdbuck :slight_smile: i remember reading your build on the gun-light.

I like the brass mesh idea. They really did a nice job turning a cheap flashlight into a light saber. Not to bad in the Lady Vader suit either.

I was hoping it would have a green cree in it. :Sp

A good alternative to coal would be lard oil. When preheated, it burns in an Argand lamp like whale oil. Rapeseed oil from wild cabbage was also supposed to work well in lighthouses.
Maybe a coal or oil powered light could use a Peltier thermoelectric diode instead of a steam turbine or piston steam engine. Easier to do on a small scale, and turbines don’t actually scale well to small size and power. I don’t see in Wikipedia about their being used to generate electricity, but they are efficient enough that they must be reversible.
