a Custom-built, Steampunk-based light ?

Anyone familliar with the “Steampunk” nostalgia thing ?
(based on early century steam driven machinery collectables and nostalgia)
I am thinking of building from scratch a unique light based around the Steampunk nostalgia, later in April for the 2nd Scratch Build contest,
It will be based & built from old brass fittings and old parts i have from my grandfathers old shop. Some parts are even from an old boiler, but using modern LEDs, Lithium cells, drivers and parts for the internals, and building this by hand tools without the automatic Lathes & mills. ( sort of oldschool way.

I'd love to see a steam powered flashlight, shovel coal in the back and light comes out the front!

Coal dust for moonlight mode?

Heat sinking might be an issue, youll need some thermal paste at least…

i dunno about how to make a steam turbine and boiler small enough to be a EDC. :stuck_out_tongue:

For the ultimate in authentic steampunk flashlight look no further.

Not mine….but something like this



omg those last 2 are awesome!

these are cool. thy remind me of something from Dr Who.

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?
