@25:50 why does the beam seem like it is drastically diverging from what appears to be a short distance away from the source? is this just optical illusion or is the distance further than what it appears to be? maybe because it is pointing up in the sky and not across the horizon?
How can I find the highest lumen/area^2 diodes that exist right now? That is, ignoring efficiency which diode outputs the most light for the size of the actual diode? Also do you have more projects you're working on?
great watching this vid again you are a good engineer, are you able to adjust the led intensity with some kind of dimmer switch? or i think you mentioned something about choosing how many buck drivers, btw im a welder and i have this idea of using the arc light from a tig welder to create something similar but basically it will just be a tube that covers the arc and it will have a pin hole perhaps even an adjustable camera shutter and an aspheric lens that will capture the blue light into a focused beam, the idea is it should create a pretty bright blue beam that has good spatial and temporal coherence for a quality collimated beam but not sure how monochromatic arc light is, it uses argon shielding gas so not sure of how many spectral line the light produces and the uv etc but i know it is a nice stable bright blue light even more so if i'm using a filter lens for the gas and i can make it adjustable from the current im selecting even able to play with the wave modulation if its a good tig machine that comes with such features
I had an idea to improve even more this flashlight by using laser, the process is simple, exciting phosphor with blue laser, this way you can get more dense light output, even better than led
Yup, my next project is based on laser phosphor technology! :) Pretty busy right now though so I haven't had time to work on it. It will be more powerful and much more compact.
@@EndermanEngineering hmmm, so we think the same. XD Recently I was able to do some tests and what I can say is that not every match works, I tested the ones that come in 100w leds and turn yellow, I destroyed one of the dofeituosos to see if less quantity resolves, but without success, but one that destroyed years ago and I lost his match it would work, I don’t know if I had already noticed that. As a tip you can use the match of those smd 5050 or 4030 led used in commercial led lamps, they are good for that
@@WolferAlpha The better option is to use a single crystal or ceramic phosphor instead of an actual LED. They can take a lot more laser power before burning up :) Here is a thread about LEP flashlights: budgetlightforum.com/node/74482 Also here is a thread about a guy who is using a phosphor wheel like in projectors to get something 10x more powerful than the Syniosbeam: budgetlightforum.com/node/77369
@@EndermanEngineering What is the maximum cd/mm² that can be done with LEP and do you have enough free time to test syniosbeam? if so please post a test video me and some people might be waiting to see the beamshot
ahhh finally ,,,but i noticed you removed many comments from your other vids on this ,most of my comments are gone and others too,,i noticed this because i was trying to find our conversation about divergence and i wanted to see the formula i once gave you to measure the beam divergence and could not find it ,,anyways very impressive design ,i will have many q's lol but for now is this a first surface reflector? and did you calculate its get divergence ? is it a perfect square die? if not you need to calculate for two different axis right? did you use inventor for the assy drawing design and 3d rendering? ahh ok it was solid works
I haven't removed any comments, maybe try changing the setting to show 'newest first' instead of 'top comments'? It is a first surface reflector, perfectly square die, and the divergence was calculated based on the LED diameter and the shortest distance to the reflector. SO this is the max divergence of the beam. Also I used sketchup for the simple prototypes and then solidworks for the more detailed ones CAD models
@@EndermanEngineering i went through all your vids about the lightcanon and optofire and i do not see as many comments as there used to be,it was easy to scroll down and find very little comments on all the vids so idk what happened but my comments are no longer there aside from maybe one or two so im not sure what happened there as i can see all the comments but there are not many ,after the 1st vid all the way to the 9th for the light canon there are barely any comments on any of them,anyways,, not sure i understood how you went about taking the measurement ,it sound like you done this internally as you say from the die (emitter)to the shortest distance to the surface of the reflector? sounds like an internal distance that makes no sense,i thought you are suppose to take the diameter of the beam from its smallest waste(ie just outside and past the the glass lens ) and another measurement a certain distance away where you can notice a change in size and then calculate for divergence,is this what you did or something else? and what was the final verdict? did you compare it to the optofire and notice any much difference between reflector and aspheric?
@@ARCSTREAMS You can use trigonometry to figure out divergence without measuring anything. The diameter of the LED and distance from the closest point on the reflector makes a tringle. When the light is reflected you get the same triangle going the opposite direction. The angle of the small corner is the divergence. Measuring beam diameter ris not reliable because there is no clear line where the light stops, it fades towards the edges of the beam.
@@EndermanEngineering seems like you changed your reply in the last 5 hours as i remember the sentence talking about the max divergence is what you will get from your calculation,but divergence is max divergence and the only one answer no? not sure how such a measurement can even be taken by the way you describe it as just a guess of the distance from your led to the shortest rout to the reflector nor the significance of the closest distance to the reflector,there will be many different length of legs doing this travel,,i thought the whole point was to determine what is going on with the beam shape outside of the device once the light is emitted from the glass ,you can still get a decent sharp reading just outside the glass cover and then another one perhaps 30 meters away if there is any visible change in diameter but yes you are right that its hard to get an accurate reading and proper positioning to do it but i do not see how your internal measurement is going to give an accurate one of what is happening outside the device since the beams final shape is determined only after it exists ,id rather have a reading outside
@@EndermanEngineering i still dont get it,,are you doing SIN=o/h and o being the diameter of the die and h being the shortest distance of light traveling to reflector? can you do a simple geometry dwg of this for us to see,wonder if it applies to lens and pin hole use as well? so what was the number you got for divergence? and did you compare it yet to your optofire?
Oh, thank you SO much for turning the comment back on!!!
Yeah sorry stupid youtube changes BS I didn't even notice, my bad
Amazing! Been waiting for an update about this projects.
this is pretty compact. from the pictures in your build thread I always imagined it would be quite a bit larger.
Yeah it's still pretty heavy though, almost 5kg :P
@@EndermanEngineering holly shit thats heavy

what happens if u shine it into eyes
It's very bright but doesn't blind because only a small amout of the beam can enter the pupil.
