2011, pinewood derby cars (TRON)
Re: 2011, pinewood derby cars (TRON)
the blur tron was the fastest, the first picture, shows the batteries placed in the wood. the 2nd picture showes the blue tron with the batteries sitting on top, after 2 hours the batteries went dead and I had to replace battery pack. I made extra, this is due to using 6 to 8 leds, 3mm. I wanted super bright even in a lighted room.
This was way brighter than EL wire. But I think If I was to do this this ever again or recommend. I might recommend a 3watt or 5 watt luxeon star bulb, to try. not saying it would work, but would be interesting to see how it works.

I was hoping to hear and see if other's did something like I did.
I was kind of wanting to maybe do another one in the future.
Hoped someone had came up with some more powerfull led bulbs and a different way then what I did to power it.
I used mine also as the weight in the weight pocked I made.
