Building a T-800 Power Cell / Tritium Light

Building a Terminator Fuel Cell Prop out of the 80s movie "The Terminator".

This build has a pretty awesome feature, it gets powered by a Nuclear Tritium Glass Tube that emits light for arround 25 years!!! So it is a Prop that really works! Unfortunately it is not generating any power to drive my next build i am working on for arround 2 months now. It will also be part of this new mini series about the Terminator, if you watch closely, in the beginning you see this red dot in the background...., but no spoilers!

A fun one day build where i show multiple techniques, from turning aluminium on the lathe, to cutting a glass tube with a fire string. I used all kind of things i had lying arround, some brass pipe to a couple of old XLR plugs. I hope this video motivates and awakes your curiosity for the next part.

By the way i shot the beginning sequence inside my bbq outdoors using some acetone for the flames and some green LEDs powered by button cell batteries.
