Voodoo Flashlight

I have just received a truly amazing flashlight in the mail. It weighs next to nothing, and appears to be powered by virtually nothing (at least, nothing I can see). It’s as light as a feather and as bright as any flashlight I’ve had,

M. Simon is the engineer-designer of this thing, and trust me, it is truly amazing. If you want the details of what is going on with this unearthly device, you’ll have to ask him.

I’m speechless.

UPDATE: A supremely skeptical commenter has expressed doubts, saying,

Pics, or it didn’t happen.

OK, if it’s pictures that ye disbelievers in my voodoo flashlight want, it’s pictures you’ll get!

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

    Everything Eric just wrote.
    It happened.

    I have one that arrived by USPS after a little two thousand mile trip. Debbie, the rural mail carrier, delivered it personally.
    It is incredible – extremely light and very bright. The terrier and I used it on the walk down to the house after dark tonight.

    Great work, M.Simon! You have a winner here.

    I had a LOT of help from Frank and Eric.

    Now if anyone is interested in helping me go into production…..

    Can’t pictures lie as easily as words?

    Of course this is true. The ratio is 1:1000, where one picture lie is worth 1,000 words of lies.

    Not too shabby. Especially if it doesn’t have any “functions”. I HATE flashlights with “functions”. Except maybe “on” and “off”.

    Hey, there’s a slogan for you. “Fabulously Function Free”

    Randy,

    I’m

    Bringing A Little Light To The World™

    In fact the above has been the slogan/trademark for my lights since I started developing them in 2004. And I have the paper work to prove it.

    In addition both Eric and Frank saw that months ago when we started on the current version of the project.

    Neil,

    I’m also working on one with functions too. I want to make lots of people happy.

    You want ’em? We got ’em.

    Wicked cool! Can you invent something for me? I’d like an emp type of weapon that will fry the speakers on a boom car. Or a mosque.

    Jewel,

    Funny you should mention that. I had a friend who developed just such a weapon for immobilizing cars. Explosives driven though. Not my cuppa.

    There might be a video up on it.

    I can remember watching the video in my friends living room decades ago. I don’t recall his name.
