Materials (Scraps from Studio):
- 2 D Size Batteries
- Any copper wire
- Small bulb (2V or 3V)
- Electrical Tape
I had a couple of old batteries in my studio so I thought about what kind of power or energy I could get out of using those batteries. The flashlight was the first idea that came to mind so I built a flashlight with only the necessary parts to produce the light.
I thought about how I could take this idea of the flashlight a step further...how I could creatively switch on/off the light. I used the idea of a rotating bicycle wheel. For example, the wires could be set up in way so that every time the wheel rotates past a certain point the two wires collide and the light "flashes"....I have yet to figure out how to do this.
Until then, this device functions pretty well as a bicycle headlight.
