    Back then this lamp was hight tech.
    This lantern cost me 8 euro at flea market, was very oxidazed and didn't turn very well.

    Fantastic resto but a little advice from a watchmaker...way too much oil. Just a drop on the pivots and gears and that magnet wheel would spin much more freely and longer. The amount of oil you put in the works is creating lots more friction in that system. With this multi-geared system, less is more. I would disassemble, clean and oil much more sparingly.

    I know many people (including myself) figure that an LED mod would be interesting, I think that keeping it original with the dim bulb and all is really worthwhile when it comes to a restoration. You can get cheap Chinese soulless LED flashlights for a few dollars, but those will be sitting in landfills long after this is still proudly on display.

    Tips: 1. Try to increase gearing ratio.
    2. Too much power loss across the Bulb,you can try low power LED.
    3. You can smoothen the response,i.e (increase light duration) using simple RLC circuits or using transistors (even higher efficiency)

  • @hugeshows
    @hugeshows 4 года назад +11

    What a cool piece! I like the polished look you went for, I think it really worked out. Two things I want to mention - first is be *really* careful with coils and cleaning. While solvents won't cause rust, they can damage the very thin lacquer insulation on the wires and make a short. Also, in clockwork devices you pretty much never oil the teeth of gears. You only oil in the pivot holes, and you use much less oil. The idea is to reduce friction. Adding oil to the wheel teeth not only adds friction, it attracts grit which will eventually form a grinding paste and wear the teeth.

    Should've done an upgrade with a high power LED and a few supercapacitors. Other nitpicks:
    - the refractor and lens need polishing. Badly.
    - should've used lithium grease rather than oil.
    - didn't clean the stator of corrosion and old polymerized oil, which means you get ~20% less output.

    Changing the bulb to a warm white LED and a condensor would make a huge step to modern combined with antique, but it is nice as it is!
    Great job!
    Thx for the vid!

      Originality is key, so if it works, keep it.

    Beautiful. Now do the right thing, and put a diode, supercapacitor and led in to it. And get bright light without working all the time.

    These are always cool devices and the tech has been improved with LED lights now. I just watched the Chernobyl mini-series and it was horrifying to see that they were using lights with this level of illumination while working in waist-deep radiated water under the reactor.

    Use hi power white led and if there is space inside you can add a 1000uf electrolytic capacitor in parallel to led. It will hold charge for some time between cranking.

    It's a pretty dynamo machine restoration , it seems it generates small photonic energy even the hand mechanical rotation is maximum , it's recommended to add a smal joule thief circuit in the output with a capacitor of high capacity ( Farad unit ) to store a large amount of electricity, good luck

    Very nice. Unlike the hand crank flashlights they sell these days. Yours looks like it could las a lifetime. Put LEDs in it and it will produce more brightness for less effort.

      There was a similar one made of plastic.
