Nuclear Torch

☢️ Nuclear Torch – Movable LED Flashlight

The Nuclear Torch is a 3D-printed flashlight in a sci-fi style with a sliding, glowing core.
By turning the Control knob, the user moves the Sliding core using a screw mechanism, allowing smooth extension and retraction of the core.

The lighting effect can be achieved in two ways:

• the core housing made from glow-in-the-dark filament,
• or a mini RGB LED installed inside the core.

The project combines moving parts, simple mechanics, and a futuristic design inspired by nuclear energy.
