“The Looks” When I put together the first concept drawing of Electrophorus, it became evident that this kind of Lamp cannot having lighting sources other from the flame placed in the center of it, since it is occupied with the generator module. Light sources in a thermo Lamp (bulbs or lamp modules) could only be […]
The Circuit
“Chase of Functionality and Efficiency” You have to have made electronic circuits from scratch to know what pain it takes to assemble a circuit working right especially if it’s a bit more complex. Being myself not a circuit designer / developer by trade, but having some experience of making them from scratch, either basic or […]
The Heat Exchanger
“Heart of the Machine” This arrangement of components has seen the most versions than anything else. Too long, too inefficient or lack of aesthetics of the heat exchangers could not be tolerated. When the Utility Patent was filed, that’s for sure was the core of the invention.
The Gauge
“The Eye of Electrophorus” There could not be an Amazing looking thermolamp with Retrofuturistic of Steampunk looks, without an imposing gauge. The living fire and the gauge are the main eye catchers of Electrophorus. Nothing less than awesome was accepted on my part.

For smaller sizes thermo lamps nothing can be more appealing than using genuine metal frames of those lanterns of old. It must be noted that i avoid modifying rare antique chassis since […]

Despite the fact that the concept of Peltier operated lamps and lanterns is nothing but new, my vision […]
The Burner
“The Elusive Flame” There is not a single most important technical component in Electrophorus Thermo lamp than the burner. The quality and behavior of a burner, in terms of efficiency (fuel to watt hours output) power generation (watts out), odor output and flame characteristics define each Electrophorus thermo Lamp. It took me time to fully […]
