Maxblaster Flashlight

Posted by Alex in Gadget, Pictures on February 4, 2008 at 6:59 am


Dutch optics engineer Ralf Ottow created a 38-million-candlepower homemade flashlight he called the Maxblaster. It can shoot a lightbeam 4 miles long!

Powered by a pack of 54 batteries, the Maxablaster can put a bright spot of light on a cloud four miles high and illuminate a house from just as far. But Ottow doesn’t use it to spook his neighbors. “It’s not a torch you’d walk your dog with,” he says. “It would probably cook your dog.”

    This kind of flashlight must consume vast amounts of energy.
    I wonder how long you can use this unusually bright device.

    How long before jerks start shining these things into the cockpits of aircraft?
