What components do you need to create your own flashlight?
Materials you will need:
- 2 Energizer Max® D cell batteries (separate batteries—you won’t use your Power Pack for this experiment)
- Number 22 insulated copper bell wire.
- Cardboard tube (paper towel) cut to 5.125″ in length.
- 3-volt flashlight bulb.
- 2 brass fasteners (brads)
- Small cardboard piece for holding bulb.
- Paper clip.
What materials are used to make torches?
Modern procession torches are made from coarse hessian rolled into a tube and soaked in wax. A wooden handle is usually used, and a cardboard collar is attached to deflect any wax droplets.
How is torch light made?
When the switch of a flashlight is pushed into the ON position, it makes contact between two contact strips, which begin a flow of electricity, powered from the battery. When activated by electricity, the tungsten filament or LED in the lamp begins to glow, producing light that is visible.
What is the output component of a torch?
The input energy for the torch to work comes from the chemical energy in the batteries which is changed to electrical energy. The output energy from the torch is light and heat energy.

How to Make a Torch: An Illustrated Guide
- Find a green branch/stick.
- For Fuel, you can use neutral (tree pitch/resin, bark) or manmade (Kerosene, gas, lighter fluid) materials.
- Wrap the cloth around the end of the stick.
- If using a manmade accelerant, soak the cloth for a few minutes before lighting.
- Light your torch!
