1. Electrical Engineering of flashlight

2. Electrical Components in a Flashlight Power source Light source On/off switch

3. Power Source Power used in Mag-light we chose: –AA batteries Other options: –AAA batteries –C batteries –Wind up –Battery charged by solar power

4. Light Source Bulb in Mag-light –Krypton Incandescent light bulb Other options –L.E.D –Halogen Incandescent –Xenon Incandescent

5. On/Off Switch Mag-light –Twist switch Other options –Push button –Flip switch

6. Our Ideas How we can improve the electrical design –Use L.E.D bulb Durable (Long Lifespan, Hard To Break) Uses Low Amounts Of Energy Does Not Create Heat –Use a push button switch Faster On & Off Capabilities

7. Mechanical Engineering Of A Flash Light

8. Mechanical Components Of A Flashlight Housing Mechanical Design Physical Features

9. Housing Mag-Lite –Anodized Aluminum Case Other Options –Plastic –Steel

10. Physical Design Overall Length – 5-3/4” Maximum Diameter – 1” Overall Weight – 3.78 oz. w/ batteries 2(AA) Total Parts – 15

11. Mechanical Design Features 3 Water Resistant O-rings & Seals Spare Bulb Stored in Tail Cap Head twists to focus beam and removes to act as base for candle position.
