Man Tech....The Torch!


Figured more technology was in need, so I found this nifty little gadget.

Story found at www.engaget.com

The Torch. Yes thats the name of this flashlight meets Armageddon which is being considered for the Guinness Book of World Records for its ability to cook up an egg, incinerate paper and even light up a smoke.

Average in stature, but deceiving. This puppy packs some heat with no pun intended. The Torch kicks out 4,100 lumens of intense light emission.
I am about to go scientific on your heinies with the help of wikipedia.com,

If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity uniformly across a solid angle of one steradian, its total luminous flux emitted into that angle is one lumen. Alternatively, an isotropic one-candela light source emits a total luminous flux of exactly 4π lumens. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total "amount" of visible light in some defined beam or angle, or emitted from some source.

So there you go.

You can run out and get one of these bad boys and really torture some ants or even small animals (I do not approve of animal torture). Or you could just watch this video of The Torch in action.
