lol so fake

I FOUND SOMETHING NEW! if you put one battery in the right way, and one in backwards, it's half light and half dark!

lol this was in a doctor seuse book not sure which one but it was . it was the one with the questions in it i believe

Please don't do this. Aside from not turning your flashlight into a flashdark, putting the batteries in backwards will make them overheat and possibly explode.

i dont think they will explode... leak acid that will eat away at your flesh maybe but not explode.

what a hilarious prank!

You liar! Geez, explosions only happen if you get tuberculosis on your spleen...

ewwwww, really?
O_Kodama says: Jan 28, 2010. 5:27 PM
I wouldn't test it out either way...
chicks dig me says: Jan 31, 2010. 3:56 AM
ya

No. No they won't. Flashlight bulbs will work in either polarity, but usually you but the negative end toward the end cap, the side with the spring.

Unless you're making a flashdark of course ;-)
zuixro says: Dec 20, 2008. 10:39 PM
Negative end of the battery that is.
spock155 (author) says: Dec 20, 2008. 8:37 PM
Um, are you ok? I've never heard of batteries exploding if you put them in backwards...

What?? If it's a regular flashlight then nothing will change. If it's an LED flashlight, well, let's hope it has reverse voltage protection, or you might blow up the LED.
me says: Dec 23, 2008. 8:57 AM
you should do your homework dude, LED is an abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode, especially the diode part is important, because if you would reverse the polarity exactly nothing would happen, because the current flow is blocked
jeff-o says: Dec 23, 2008. 9:19 AM
Up to a certain point, yes. But excess voltage through the diode (and especially high power diodes) will quickly damage them - their reverse voltage threshold is usually only 5V or less.

On an incandescent flashlight it'll make no odds, however this does seem a bit... Ermm pointless...
spock155 (author) says: Dec 20, 2008. 8:33 PM
Well, if you think this is pointless, look up "fearme36" and click on the instructable that pops up :)
fearme36 says: Dec 21, 2008. 5:57 PM
hey! ..well.. your right lol

Bwah ha ha. :D

it dosent work
[ jack the young idiot ] says: Jan 25, 2010. 7:02 PM
that means you made it right
spock155 (author) says: Aug 3, 2009. 5:09 PM
You obviously made it wrong.
zoraxbrooks says: May 1, 2009. 5:29 PM
maybe if you did this thing to your car itle go up & down instead of forward & bacgwards!
fearme36 says: Dec 2, 2009. 8:47 PM
That only happens when you put oil in the gas tank and gas in the oil place. don't forget to swap the hydrolic fluid with the windshield fluid. your welcome
spock155 (author) says: Jun 25, 2009. 5:18 PM
I think it could work. But, considering the amount of time it took me to make the idea and figure out how the flashdark works, I am more than sure doing the same idea to a car would take years, maybe even centuries. Also, as you can see, people may think your car would explode or even blow up the engine. Many people would think it's fake. I wouldn't think it's fake, as anything is possible! (Just like Kevin Garnet!!!)
redcars101 says: May 12, 2009. 3:57 PM
Haha I don't think so
a.nony.mouse says: Nov 25, 2009. 8:26 PM
now all we need is a device that, rather than casting a beam of dark, sucks up all the light, and replaces it entirely with dark! or perhaps a flood lamp version of the flash dark!

the possibilities are endless!
sam11182 says: May 25, 2009. 3:59 PM
Oh, did you invert the first picture? haha
spock155 (author) says: May 25, 2009. 5:12 PM
I don't get your joke :S
sam11182 says: Nov 19, 2009. 8:14 PM
the first picture shown. it was a flashlight picture. you inverted it to make it look like it was shining dark. well, when i say that, i'm not trying to tell you what you did, it was just a comment

yeah really. I enjoyed it. It was a minute well spent. Good job Spock
spock155 (author) says: Aug 23, 2009. 5:34 PM
Sarcasm? either way, thank youu.
dasoccerdude says: Aug 23, 2009. 6:08 PM
no this isn't sarcasm. I enjoyed your instructable a lot.
spock155 (author) says: Aug 23, 2009. 8:00 PM
Thanks!

You are a non-joke-taker, apparently.
