Mattel DeLorean – Flux Inductor Powered

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 23:07:28 +0000

A project to bring in a couple of learned electrical circuit techniques…a fun idea to convert a $1.07 display model.

The DeLorean now has a working Flux Inductor circuit (3x axial inductors that work similarly to a Joule Thief toroid). It has a fitted Flux Capacitor light between the seats, red and yellow interior lighting and blue LED’s illuminate the outside road area.

Powered by a single AA battery for the interior lighting or, with a micro Tesla tower for all lights, the model now sports a look that i’m quite pleased with

Exciter circuit uses a BD135 (because I blew up the intended and better 2SC1020) and uses a Walgreen pill bottle as the tower. Voltage is 7.5V from a converted vehicle type multi-voltage DC/DC adapter

Sound Active 7 Color RGB LED Car Interior Lighting Kit (Part 3)

CharlesC — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 10:52:10 +0000

Brought to you by http://www.iJDMTOY.com

We have tested this LED interior lighting kit on a 2012 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe and the LED lighting follows the music beat and flash according. (Featured Music: We Speak No Americano)

My Dog thought I am leaving so he jumped into the car as well.

This LED Interior Lighting Kit includes 4 pieces 12 inches (30cm) 9 pieces 3-emitter SMD waterproof LED strips; 1 piece LED lighting control module; and 1 piece 3-way wireless remote control (60ft range).

Thanks to this new design, using the latest 3-emitter RGB SMD LED lights instead of the traditional individual colored LED diodes, each RGB SMD LED light equals to 3 traditional LED bulbs. Its like getting 3 LEDs with just 1 RGB SMD Chip and 50% more lighting output compared to the tradition LED diode interior lighting kit.
