Q: What project are you working on?
A: The project I worked on is a homemade flashlight. The flashlight has LED lights on a circuit board, which is connected to a toggle switch and a penny battery.
Q: How would you make the LED light work from a penny battery?
A: To make a battery, you need two dissimilar metals and an electrolyte. Once you have your battery, next you will need a switch. For this flashlight, I used a toggle switch. Once you have your switch, use wires to connect the battery to the switch, and LED's.
Q:Wow that's a lot of work! Did you learn a new skill?
A: You bet I learned a couple of new skills. One skill is making a penny battery. I also learned to connect wires from the penny battery to a switch, and LED lights. With these skills, I learned to make a homemade flashlight.
Q: What role did you play in this project?
A: I did mainly everything in this project. I am the creator. My father, however, helped me with the wiring and taping
Q: How do you use this project?
A: To use this flashlight, you would flick the switch to the other side to turn it on.
Q: Can you make a drawing of your project?
A: I sure can! This is a drawing of my homemade flashlight. It shows everything from the battery, to how the entire flashlight is powered.
Q: Can you make a drawing of how the flashlight is powered in depth?
A: Of course! There is a penny battery, taped together with wires. These wires are connected to the toggle switch and circuit board. Since everything is connected to each other, the light would turn on with the flick of the switch.
Q: Who would benefit from this project and why?
A: Anyone can benefit from this project. Whenever there is a blackout, someone can use this flashlight to help them see in their house. The good thing is, this flashlight is small. You can carry it around with you easily, and it can survive a drop even from 5 feet.
Q: Can you demonstrate how your project works
A: The link above leads to my Youtube channel.(By the way subscribe). In the video, I explain how my flashlight works.
Q: Is there a certain limit to how much of a drop the flashlight can survive?
A: Not necessarily. However, I tested the flashlight falling from 5 feet. So it can definitely survive a 5 feet drop.
