In this video I build a bat signal from a lensed flashlight beam. This design can be used to project any image, or simply act as a spotlight. For the light source I'm using the Imalent MS18 flashlight, which you can check out here (this is not a paid endorsement, but I was sent the flashlight for free to use in this project): www.imalentstore.com/products/imalent-ms18-100000-…

Similar fresnel lenses as the one I used in this video are available on eBay. I used a lens 250mm in diameter with a 500mm focal length. You can find some here (this is an affiliate link): ebay.to/2In1Nzt

    dude u gotta shine that at the clouds when they come in, it would look so cool
  • Batman: "What is wrong with this guy? I've been there 8 times tonight for nothing. No Penguin, no Riddler, no Bane. You sir got some explaining to do."
  • @JasonMacpherson
    Cool. Now replace the bat emblem with a a clear LCD screen and project animated shapes.
  • @stijn2472
    The insects that are attracted to the light might even attract real bats!
  • @PinkPenguinMovie
    POV: You are a sleeping squirrel. Suddenly the entire world lights up like it's mid day.
  • @BeyondSlowMotion
    Epic. So much possibility for shadow art. Man that flashlight is so bright! Haha I'd love to try this with some Phantom cameras and see how far I could push the frame rate from one point source light.
  • @Advoko
    Haha, I wonder what your neighbors thought of that project...)))
  • I remember when parties in cities were pinned by "skytracers", these setups were huge !
  • @JRaiKetchum134
    That is amazing! I mean with 10,000 lumens, you can see the light beams clear enough to see them cross over at the focal point in front of the lens.
  • @Kai99097
    weather forecast: no clouds gotham: guess i'll die
  • @DoRC
    please keep this around for when you do get some really low clouds someday. I have my doubts as to whether or not the image will work on the clouds but I really would like to see you try!
  • @reddevved
    "if these pins are bent or at random angles" well in my experience that's exactly what they are! 😂
  • @TechsScience
    I want to see the reaction of the people passing by
  • @wholock0001
    "You can't even have your hand in it for long because of the heat" Proceeds to stick face in front of it xD
  • @FretAndForget

    Well, might as well hook that up to an LCD screen and make a projector.
  • @DeepakGautamX
    8:07 perfect we have fully functional BATSIGNAL thingy now we just need a Batman.
  • I like how you can clearly see the upside down crossover when you shined it on the trees, impressive project there.
