Amazing! Lit up the world with your body


Generally, flashlights are powered by batteries like AA,AAA,18650,16340 or lithium since its invention. More batteries are placed in series or parallel in high power flashlight. our 1000 lumen flashlight is loaded with  1PCS of 18650 battery or 2 CR123 Batteries. While 3000 lumen led flashlight Bronte X30 uses 3PCS of 18650 batteries.The flexible flashlight Bronte V2 is compatible with either 1 or 2 AA batteries.
However,in order to save energy and protect the environment, new echo friendly energies  are encouraged to be developed and put into daily use.Thus, solar flashlights or lanterns  are launched in the market .
This is a good try though its efficiency is not high.Currently,researchers have Focused on human heat and successfully powered a high power flashlight with human body heat.This was created and tested by a teenage girl Ann Makosinski.
4 peltier tiles are used to convert the temperature differences between body and room into electricity to lit up a high power flashlight.One side of the tiles is heated by our body and the other side is cool outside.This causes  a temperature difference.When this differences reach up to 5 degrees,electricity will be produced.In the demo, Ann had lit up a high power flashlight  for 20 minutes at very low lumen. This is not a good performance.However, it is a striking step and has a long way for improvements and putting into commercial practice.
This is a good try and it is believed that one day  all electronic appliances including 3000 lumen led flashlight will need no batteries or electricity produced by coals or other resources,which can bring pollution to our environment. Our body will become the largest power plant.

Environment Protection:Stop Refrigerant leakage

Leakage of refrigerant is harmful to your health and environment.As all refrigerants  are chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs,which are controlled substances and should be carefully removed and disposed.Once it leaks, it will evaporate as a gas and is harmful to inhale, causing a variety of health problems, including nausea, headache and in extreme cases asphyxiation. Also it will damage the environment and cause a lot of problems to your air conditioners or cars.
Generally when you find your air conditioner is not as cool as before or your car engine suddenly becomes hot or even smells .You may suspect a leakage occurred.
You need a mechanic for further check and action or you can do it yourself.
What you need are:
UV Dye
The mechanic will add UV dye to your air conditioning system and run it for several minutes. Then turn off all lights and pick out the UV pocket flashlight to check where the dye is leaking from.UV die will glow brightly under the light of UV pocket flashlight.

After carefully examine, they will take further action to stop leakage.This is a very simple way to use a pocket flashlight detecting leakage.However, it is advised to do by mechanic professionals.
